Our registration crew tries to get people on the trails they want. First, we have to know what you want. We are asking you to fill out the “TRAIL PREFERENCES” chart to help tell us. This article suggests how we would like it filled out, but we will try to interpret your system or read your notes — anything to help us understand. The design of the chart is the same as past years, and here are some by-the-numbers instructions: 1) Start with the first day you will be here. Go down the list vertically on that day. Mark inside the boxes for the trails you want in order of your preference as “1”, “2”, “3”, etc. for that day only. (You can’t create a trail by marking outside the boxes!) We urge you to make plenty of choices; if all the trails you marked have filled, you will not be confirmed for any — and by the time you send other choices, those trails may be full, too. 2) Continue the same way on your second day, scanning the day vertically and marking your preferences, starting again with “1”. Then continue for each subsequent day. If you are eager to get a particular trail, you may show it as first choice on as many days as you wish; we will assign it to you only once. 3) If you have selected a trail for several days but don’t care which day you get it, skip the following steps. We will assign the trail for only one day. 4) If, on the other hand, you have preferences for which days you get certain trails, scan your markings for one of your trails, going across the chart horizontally this time. If you have placed a “1” for that trail on more than one day, you may show which day you would prefer by adding an “A” (making it “1A”). On the same horizontal line, you may add a “B” to your second choice of days (“1B”). Our experience is that there is seldom a need to go beyond B to make your wishes clear to us. 5) Start again from another trail name horizontally. If there is a “1” for more than one day, add “A” or “B”, etc. Continue reviewing the trails horizontally until you have exhausted the “1” choices. 6) Review each trail to see if you have marked “2” for the trail on more than one day. If so, you may add “A”, “B”, etc to the “2” markings for that trail. 7) The system can be continued, but there is seldom need to add letters to more than the first two choices. If we go through your first few choices and find none of those trails available but do have another with openings, we look to see if that trail is mentioned anywhere on your chart. If so (and if we did not give you that trail on another day), we will assign the trail that you mentioned elsewhere. Otherwise, we will have to leave that day unassigned. Sometimes, this system is more confusing than a simple note. We will read the notes you write to clarify your wishes. Or Register online and know what you have.. A sample of a chart filled according to these instructions appears here.
