Would be a lot more straightforward if we could (a) get a registration system that tracks membership AND (b) is tied into godraw so that that status is passed through. If that was simply a field on the EGD and the EGD PIN was the thing passed through that'd be great for 95% of entries. The remaining 5% will always cause more trouble than the other 95% put together - that's just life,
