The new users guide that Eric sent says that Opps can only be created when "Just the ticket buyer" is selected inEB's Capture Attendee Information screen. I understand that this is due to limitations in the EB API. I'm not clear if this is supposed to be/can be enforced, or will merely produce unexpected or undesirable results if this directive is ignored.

Specifically, I just imported an in-progress event for which there are only two attendees (if anyone wants to come out for the trainwreck that will be our [State Budget Address Watching Party](http://pabudget2012.eventbrite.com/), you're welcome to!) - theyv've all registered separately, and so the list of ticket buyers and attendees is the same. I was presented with the Contacts & Opps option, chose it, checked the "create free opps" box, and it did import fine. So if that's how it's supposed to work, great! But that's not the impression the docs give.
