Ok, so yes it looks like an error but it isn't. There is an assumption that you all won't wait until the last minute, in fact there is an incentive not to: IF we have tie votes and too many papers, we will go by date of submission as the tie breaker, so submit early, submit often (different topics of course).
Don't forget to bug your BMC reps about what they are presenting and who they are sending :-) IF you aren't presenting, you will want to be there to hear the presentations, so register early for the best rate, and don't forget to book your hotel room as soon as possible, the hotel was sold out last year and we are expecting more people this year.
