No offense to the event coordinators as I'm sure they have our best interest in mind, but fanime's table window is already incredibly generous, being I think 5 minutes or so? That essentially means anyone who is online at the right time will get a table. You only miss out if you forget or are gone AND or don't have enough friends/family to sign you up. The idea that a jury is necessary for the people who want to get in to get in is misguided.
It's 2 months, two weeks till the con. Those of us flying from out of state need time to book our hotels and plane tickets, and time to cancel (hotels) if we don't get in. Even if you started the app tomorrow and decided the within the first week you'd still be giving us just 2 months, and lets be real, neither of those things are liable to be true.
In short: :-\ ??? Why??? Seems inefficient for a con this size, and you're already the latest con I've ever been to, small or large.
