I know as a promoter it's the folks that do day-of-race that make money. The pre-reg is almost a loss, even if the racer pays a lot (due to fees). That's a hint on Bethel Spring Series fees for next year btw.

As a promoter, for large fields, BikeReg is a savior. My races give them a lot of money, and their advertising fees are very low (highlight race, side bar). A no brainer for a promoter.

For Masters 4 races in NorCal, you pretty much have to pre-reg, and for the popular races as soon as it goes up. Not having to do that has been one of the real benefits to catting up.
