BBunin Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Keep trying dude. You need to go back to the first form and start there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickpony Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 I had trouble getting a slot as well, was refreshing screen with everything filled in and at Midnight it wouldn't accept my cc info. Finally worked after I closed internet connection and started over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingchange Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Thanks, guys. Would have helped if I'd entered my USPSA number correctly on the waitlist request form. D'oh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Boudrie Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 The server really got hammered tonight - I've never seen anything like it. The system was lightly loaded and responding quickly at 12:00, and ground to a screeching halt at 12:00. A few transactions were processed by the credit card service, but not entered into the USPSA waitlist database. I have just completed a manual transfer of those waitlist registrations into the USPSA database, and modified the sequence code so that it used the "transaction number" rather than database insert time to determine the order. So, if you didn't see your waitlist status on your classification record immediately after submission, please check again. I regret the problems, however, I can assure everyone that I recovered ever single bit of data that was there to recover and that every single wait list submission was treated without any favoritism or special favors.

Newbie Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Does anyone have a guess as to how many make it from the waiting list to the Limited, Production, Rev. Nationals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 I hope it is at least 81. I stayed at work to use a high speen system and had to call my friend to help me out after he got through, but we both got on. Rob must have worked hard to make this thing fly. Thanks.

38superman Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 (edited) I had my form submitted within the first minute. Unfortunately, I couldn't get back in to check my status last night because the web site was bogged down. A check first thing this morning show me at #31 on the Limited list. We'll see how it goes, but I'm feeling pretty good about my chances. Tls Edited March 29, 2007 by tlshores Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Boudrie Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 A bit of info on what happened last night - A waiting list request starts on the USPSA server, moves to a credit card server and moves info about the transaction back to the USPSA system. This is done for security - we do not handle credit card numbers on the USPSA server. When the USPSA server became non-responsive, some transactions did not make the round trip back to USPSA.ORG and into our database. Fortunately, a record of the transaction was created in our account at the credit card clearing house. I have recovered from this manually, inserted missing transactions into the USPSA database, and taken the necessary steps to make sure nobody is double-billed. It was somewhat inconvient, but the waiting list is intact. My apologies to those of you who had difficulty signing up. I don't have the details worked out yet, but we will find a way to avoid this problem next year. As a result of this "manual recovery" you may have seen your spot in the list shift. If you moved down a place to two it was not because someone got a favor, but a result of the manual restoration of the transactions not transmitted to us by the credit card system. There were absolutely no favors, special treatments, or manual adjustments to the order not justified by transactions in the credit card processing system. I am most grateful to two friends in particular who have places in the waiting list that are in the 70's due to the slow response time issue for not asking me to handle them outside of the process.

Cool. These things happen. Just to clarify, then. If I clicked send at 12:00:01 and it didnt make it thru the CC, then started over and did succeed 20 min later... You are going to be able to see that and adust UPWARDS accordingly, as well as moving others downward? Edited March 29, 2007 by BBunin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rising Sight Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 I moved from 18th to 34th. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. It sounds to me like everything was handled very well. Thanks Rob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
