Maybe it's just me but this site screams of hack job. A few things to take issue with:

There are a flood of errors in your forms. It's like no one debugged. I'm looking at the source code for the online registration forms and the form validation tool doesn't work at all (I just sent in a completely empty registration, which went through perfectly fine without any attempt to force me to fill in the required fields), The forums use a default vBulletin address bar icon in the address bar and tab header, which I suppose is better than the rest of the site which doesn't have one at all. There is no RSS feed, and the general design layout looks like it's trying to spoof a very low-tech MLG site design.
It seems basic features like these and even the most simple things like making your email address actually create an email when you click on it were overlooked.

I'm sure there are dozens of other errors worth looking into, these are the ones I found in 5 minutes.

What I'm trying to say here is that if you paid money for this site, you were ripped off. This sub-par workmanship wouldn't have passed for web design even 5 years ago. If I were you I'd be hollering for my money back.

It is so they can get a sign up number from players who are paying at the event. www.progamingleague.ca have you seen the main site.

I'm talking about the main site. And getting a sign up number doesn't matter if there's no information to sign up. If I leave every single value blank, or a user accidentally skips a page of the registration there is no way to tell who paid what. And to really think everyone brings/remembers their registration number is unlikely. It's very unprofessional to have a form that unloads PHP side errors on the user and leaves exceptions unhandled.

I would like to bring to your attention how long this has been up and running. The fact is I highly doubt PGL though down hundreds of dollars for this site, the money is just not there. This league has only had 2 events. Please save your bitching about the site until it is certain the league is gonna gain momentum.

we launched the site earlier than we were supposed to........ we know of all these errors and are using Drupal as a program to correct everything you have mentioned........ this will all be done but with an event coming up we cant devote a lot of time to the site but still do some........ dont worry it will all be fixed up really soon...... only very trained eyes can see these errors..... but instead of keeping a blog type site we launched early to look more pro...... please be patient and thanks a lot for pointing these things out........ even bringing these to my attention shows you want something better

The site was just released. All of the errors can be fixed. Not that big of a deal.

I know it's all being fixed, and if the site wasn't paid for than that's fine. Wonderful job if it was free. I simply assumed it was bought and paid for.

lolol, if only you were around for MLG's v1, v1.2 and v2 layouts. submitting a blank form is no big deal, it appears to be purged in the mysql tables in the backend anyways. even you should consider that as a possibility.
