Sure. As I understand it, these are numbers from Penta registration, not actual on-site reconfirmed attendance. > I agree that 36% might be a bit low.

I think it can be mitigated by a smart phrasing and separation of the options: a) accomodation - sponsored accomodation (incl. breakfast in Le Camp) - 'medium room with bedding' accomodation (incl. breakfast in Le Camp), 33 CHF - … accomodation (incl. breakfast in Le Camp), $N CHF - outside of Le Camp (no breakfast in Le Camp), 0 CHF b) food - food (lunch + dinner) in Le Camp, 24 CHF - sponsored food (lunch + dinner) in Le Camp, 0 CHF > I'm open to the "only sponsored food" option.

For this reason I prefer to not offer this option. I think we can rely on common sense there, and I wouldn't enforce too many conditions. We could also write down explicitely on the registration form what the conditions are (then automated flagging + registration@ weighing in).
