At our games we have to sign people in and grab some other info for safety reasons.
Emergency contact name
Emergency contact number
Loan equipment required
etc
This can really slow down if there are a lot of people.
Wouldn’t it be nice if all this could be done electronically with little administration?

After 5 days of searching and testing I think I have found a solution.
Drupal + CiviCRM
Here is how I envisage it will work.
A new/prospective registers on the site.
They look around the site and forums.
They want to come out to a game.
They then fill in their profile with all the required information.
Click on the event registration link, and confirm their attendance.
Click any check boxes for gear required.
Done.
Before the event the organiser exports the attendence list.
All the info required will be on there if the user has filled in their profile.
So the only people that have to write anything will be people that have no net access.
Even then you can pregister for them to save them writing.
On the day, just check people in as they arrive 
Easy.
The system is linked to the forum software so people only need one login to modify their registration info and use the forums.
Membership payment manage is also part of the software.
I have not tested that part though.
Auto reminders, for both member and admin etc.
At the moment the event organising is very manual.
A thread is started.
People say they want to come and what they need.
The organiser scan’s the thread and updates the first post with info.
Who’s coming and needs what.
etc
If you already have something like this setup carry on,
but I am very excited to see my workload when this goes live
