The event hosts generally know who is medically trained. Generally, if somebody gets hurt badly enough to need medical attention, I'd imagine the admins would put out a net call for anybody with the skills and supplies to help out if one of the "regular" docs wasn't in the area.
Also, as an aside, a CPR card does not a medic make. Heck, even somebody who has been through Army CLS classes ends up with less unimpressive credentioals, and I still wouldn't want a CLS working on me if I had another option. Heck, I managed to "graduate" that course, and if they'll let me in to the club, that's saying something. Just my opinion, but if you aren't on the National Registry, you probably shouldn't be using the term "medic". Also, First Aid / CPR cards give you a VERY limited scope of practice. Exceed that limited scope of practice, and you greatly increase the likelihood of bad shit happening, both to your patient (from screwing up) and yourself (from the lawyer types afterward). Know your scope of practice, and stay within it.
