The homepage page currently lacks an appropriately obvious call-for-registration, and doesn’t make it easy to register.
Either have a large sign up button on the home page ("Sign up for Free!" should be a large, colorful, and prominent button), or, like Facebook, include the sign up form right on the home page. Having to click on a sign up button just means another page the user has to visit before reaching his/her goal.
The best sign up process would actually be integrated with Facebook Connect because users would not have to create accounts unique to finalsclub.org.
"Please use your school email address" should go on the actual sign-up page.
The registration form itself should be extremely simple and not push for too much customization information.
Reasons to sign up should all be embedded in an interactive, catchy, and friendly home page to encourage more signups.
