Hey Pete.
I'm not sure why we were not listed in the Roostertail, but we are on IMPBA.net.
To answer your questions:
The race is NOT pre registration, run what ya brung.
It will be up to the Badgers as to whether or not there will be open water Friday. The Badgers are being very generous with their site, and equipment and we don't want to infringe on their generosity. I will be in Atlanta starting tomorrow, so I will let you know as it gets closer. If i had to guess, I would say yes. There should be SOME.
