Having a player roster is a good way to gauge the quality of the players that will be attending and by extension the overall quality (or style) of the game.
Call it what you will, but I know certain players will bring a level of play to the table that others simply will not and I don't necessarily feel like going to a game just to find out i have no interest in playing with the people there.
That being said, tents on roster are useless. Knowing that so-or-so MIGHT be there doesn't give me any kind of clear indication if I wanna go. If its some skirmish or whatever, fine, but for serious events there shouldn't be any tents: get your shit organized and figure out if you're going or not.
I also think this is why private games are becoming the norm.
And for the few public events left, flakers should just get blacklisted.
