The only way to get "in the game" is to register which is very easy and (hopefully) intuitive.  Google limits the registrants we can add per day to 50....and although it be a great problem to have, it's still a problem if everyone tries to register on Feb 28th.   It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you register early as possible.....if there's a log jam, it's first come first serve and since this game is ultimately about CONSISTENCY (with bonus points awarded for same).....it's best to get in early.
