I agree with Andy, colleges are not that great at filling out preregistration.
Given that we are in the modern age of the Internet, it seems it would be very easy for a Tournament Director to maintain both a list of who attended last year and who has registered.
The list of colleges is pretty much the only reason to go to an 'exposure' tournament. Teams should pick exposure tournaments based on the length and accuracy of the attending colleges list.
I know the 'established' tournaments will not loose many teams, but I would think over time most tournament directors would, through natural selection, be good at maintaining the list of colleges.
If teams start to pick exposure tournaments based on the list of teams, there would be a lot of pressure on college coaches to preregister with an event. Most colleges would rather go to a large exposure event, than a small one.
