Waitlist Number and Slot?

[AZGunut]

Hi everyone, just dealt with the USPSA website kicking me out 3 times, but still signed up for the Limited waitlist at number 72. What did you get and how was your experience?

Was waiting... and waiting... then the site went on halt as I refreshed. Finally got in and no. 38 for the Open/Limited 10.

[JorDanO]

I'm #25 on the LPR list. Got kicked the first time I submitted it. Firefox rocks. I didn't have to reenter everything and got in on my second attempt.

How to get your pin when you have no front sight copy handy?

[kevin c]

18th for the L10 (my son has better reflexes than me).

I am on the list for Production, but the system, while it gave me the email confirmation, won't tell me where I am on the list for the 2nd match.

Now we wait...

We already thought of that .

The waitlist may be accessed via a "top and center" link on www.uspsa.org that does not require any password.

am on the list for Production, but the system, while it gave me the email confirmation, won't tell me where I am on the list for the 2nd match.

I'll look into his after things calm down, but I am not going to touch working code at this critical time. Your classification record will display where you stand on the list.

[kevin c]

Ah, the system updated when I logged back in just a couple minutes ago. It now has a second notation putting me at #42 on the LPR.

Thanks for being so vigilant, Rob, but the software, seems she's a cookin'.

Hello: It says I'm something like 154 on the Limited/Production nationals. I tried to pay and may have but things said it was full or something I jusr checked again and I did pay Now the waiting to see if I get in or not. Thanks, Eric

Payment was intentionally disabled for the first hour of the list to avoid the extra load of the credit card service making the callback to the USPSA server. Rest assured - your place on the list was locked in before you paid.

Number 17 Open...

No issues

My first Nationals!

Marty

A-7424

Open since 1987

[DarthMuffin]

7th on the list in Limited. I assume a slot is all but guaranteed.

[markcic]

7th in open. The site worked fine but you could tell things were slowing down after I sent in my entry. It would be interesting to see the time distribution of entries last night.

[Yagi]

It would be interesting as well to see the waitlist....

Number 17 Open...

No issues

My first Nationals!

Marty

A-7424

Open since 1987

How long will it be before we know we are in the match?

Marty

[kevin c]

My understanding is that, whatever slots are declined from those offered individually and those returned from the sections will be offered to those at the top of the list. If those on top turn them down, accept but don't pay, or change their minds later, their slots get reoffered to those next on the list. The process continues until all the slots are accepted and paid for, and even then last minute cancellations will open up a few slots (eta: which is why walkups have usually been available).

Those high up will hear back fairly soon (next few weeks, I think). The hard waiting is for those further down the list, who have to wait for the first replies, or the second, or third. I know somebody whose wait list # was 150 something and he got into last year's Open Nats in September, but there's no way of predicting how it will go this year.

Hello: So you are saying I will have to wait till September to see if I will be going to the Nationals with slot number 154? That seems like short notice or is that just me Thanks, Eric

[DarthMuffin]

Can you give us a rough idea of how many slots are available for the waiting list in each division? Thus if my number on the list is close to or less than the number of slots offered, I can be reasonably sure it's safe to ask for the vacation time now

[kevin c]

I have no special information, sorry. I only have my own and my friends' experiences to go on, and that is only for last year's match. Previous years I got one of my club's slots and section slots.

I have no idea how many slots are actually unclaimed at this point - I'm not even sure Sedro Woolley has that info (some may pay, and then have to cancel after the deadline, for instance). I remember folk's position numbers changing quickly in the first month or so, but slower as the match got closer.

I'm pretty sure that there's no problem for the first few dozen hearing fairly early that they're in (I'm planning on taking the time, and am making reservations already). I don't know anybody's experience with a lower position other than my friend's, and he heard late and was given one of the last slots (#443 out of 450, I think).

While each year will vary, you might check last years slots thread for at least a sense of how it might go. Check about post #110 on. http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=78893&st=100

FYI, the list has started to move. Just four places so far, but it goes fairly rapidly.
