I like this idea.  It could be a boon to contests which are marginally 
getting by.  There have been many contests which I planned to attend, 
only to have the plans shot down at the last minute.  It would 
obviously help if the host club has an advance registration procedure 
in place, so you can register in advance and the host club would still 
benefit from your support, even if you can't attend.
