EDIT: [headline changed and snarky and tongue-in-cheek text removed]
Now, onto the point of all of this.
3/14: registration deadline for local Seattle runners (hey, that's me!)
3/21: registration deadline for global navigators (hey, that's you!)
3/27: day of event (hey, that's for all of us!)

Kupackman,
False advertising and misleading headline. May the AP gods be kind to you. ;)
I've tried the true advertising and direct headlines. Didn't seem to work.
Now I've tried false advertising and misleading headlines. Those don't seem to work either.
Tomorrow is the deadline for local runners and next Sunday is the deadline for global navigators, and we've only got 25 folks registered so far, which is 50% of what we had last year.
When we came up with the MoboGoGlobo! concept a few years ago, we thought it would be a perfect fit for Attackpoint. Here, on this website, we have an active, global orienteering community. And we proposed an event that this entire community could participate in without having to go anywhere.
And now in its second year, we've had very, very little interest from Attackpoint. Most of our participants find out through word-of-mouth locally here in Seattle, or on Facebook. I'm surprised at how much more interest this event is getting on Facebook (foreign orienteering territory) than Attackpoint (our home soil on the web, so to speak).
Agreed, do not push your luck with misleading approaches.
