It's good to see that the "beginner" events are the most popular. So far, the top 5 are:

LPP - 23
F1L - 23
A6 - 16
Ministick - 19 (sort of a beginner event)
EZB - 11

Flown by beginner and expert alike.

Additionally, the Pro/Am is mentioned, along with a signup form, in the materials the AMA mails to those who have sent in their entry and fees. As of right now, the AMA lists but one entry for the Pro/Am in the online registration numbers. Interestingly, there are 23 entries for both the F1L and LPP open classes.
