You mentioned booths can be registered without having a playable version of a game. Obviously this would put it at somewhat of a disadvantage though when the whole "best of 2011" comes around. What's the benefits of having a booth if your game isn't done or has no playable form?

Perhaps the booth registration FAQ should be updated to make this kind of thing clear, i'm still a tad fuzzy on the whole booth / entering thing, never having made a booth for any game before.
