 I don't mean to be hating, but apparently reading has died as well. 
 
The first option they mention is an alternative to the facebook registration.

 A non-fb version will be put up soon for those who don't use Facebook... but you can also go to our clubsfest booth and fill out a ballot there!
 
Those who invite via fb get extra entries into the draw! So invite all your friends to learn about the giveaway!

 but most of those 7B also lack a computer and internet access... I think this means we're discriminating no matter what we do...
