Does anyone know the actual number how many people are signed up so far?
I would also like to know how early you can set up on the ice on the day of the event? It is my understanding that officials will be availabe for check in at 6:30 a.m.
I know 150 contestants is not a large # of people, but last week there was only two locations you could get on the ice and a several people including myself got very wet. [unsure]
I would prefer to set up early trying to avoid a line up of people with gear trying to get on the ice and then check in. [

On your comment on the alcohol. Some people don't know how to maintain control. At another derby I attended they did not allow pesonal wheelers etc. on the ice to prevent any accidents from people with too much antifreeze in them, but they still had to cart away a guy with a broken ankle who thought it would be cool to go off a cliff in his black sled.
