Update on Origins - Slight Bug in Origins Website

This in from Don Del Grande

If you try to enter the Diplomacy tournament at Origins through the online schedule, there's a slight problem.
Each round is listed separately, and has its own registration entry - and its own 140-person limit - and its own $8 entry fee.  Hopefully, everybody who wants to enter will realize that they only have to enter one of them.

I hope they get this fixed before WDC next year.
