We have many games that are reliant upon x amount of people showing up. A lot of times the people in these groups will ask us how many are registered so they do not waste time showing up to a game without the required amount of players.
I feel it would streamline lifeloop calendar interaction between residents.
Residents can see how many people are registered for the event, but only if a "Maximum Residents" number is entered. You're right though, they should be able to see how many people are registered for the event, regardless of whether a Max Residents number is entered.
