#489: Why can’t I modify my participation to Gala Night after the Preliminary Gala Checklist Deadline?

After the Preliminary Gala Checklist Deadline, we prepare and print the winner kits, screen presentations, gala badges and we also prepare the welcome envelopes which contains your Call to Stage Numbers. We cannot add or remove you to the Stage List Automatically after deadline, because if we do so, this would change the call to stage number ordering system, and that means we would need to reprepare a significant portion of deliverables including but not limited to winner kit identification stickers, screen presentations, gala badges and welcome envelopes that have the Call to Stage Number, which is highly costly but most importantly it requires a lot of time and we usually do not have enough time prior to the Gala Night. However we understand that you might have missed the deadline for confirmation, in this case we created a late inclusion and removal system where you can request your name to be added or removed, you can request this service from the Gala Night page. This does not apply to your guests; your guests can make changes anytime as long as the system is active.
