8pm is peak time for me so its a real struggle as I have a lot of tables at that time and most most tables are 6 max no time banks!
I think 8.30pm no late reg is fine as late reg ends by then anyway then its not such a issue playing at the start as I can't be playing 2 or 3 handed with sometimes 10-12 tables at 8pm, some times I am already playing hu at that time but I would of stopped regging some if I am at a short handed final table and end up late regging my pko's sometimes too which is not ideal.
