Proof of Membership

Wait....If I've already done a Crusade race & shown my proof of membership, and then I register for the next races online, I'm done right?  I've never checked in for the other races before.

One thing I still don't understand is why, when we pre-register online, we STILL have to show our card at event check-in. Isn't our membership validated at the time of online registration? Aren't computers supposed to make things easier?

For that matter, if we've pre-registered and already have a race number, why do we even need to check in?

It's incredible that we pay a "convenience fee" for on-line registration yet still have to jump through hoops on race day.

So what's the deal?

Some promoters don't require you to purchase a license when you
register for a race.

Folks-

To help everyone here is a new option to show proof of your membership.

If you have a smart phone point your browser to:

http://obra.org/people

type in your name.

it will show your license number and whether you are a 2012 member.
you may show that as proof.
