Not quite, you are adding the scanning of the badge, which is an added step which takes longer, as well there were runners in registration for getting the shirts for the front desk and could get any size, so there are other changes as well which can have an impact.
I think that this says something as well:

How many people did not know that they had to go another place to get a shirt and how many did not get one because they did not want to wait in another line? Some might think that shirts were not given out this year for some unknown reason. None of this is likely to be a positive thing.
