persona non grata Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 I'm confused. I don't understand all this wait list business. Is there a way to avoid the wait list? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuskySig Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 I'm confused. I don't understand all this wait list business. Is there a way to avoid the wait list? Sure. You can earn them through match performance at the previous Nationals, your Area match, and through your section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intel6 Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 I was thinking about going in to work to use that connection but ended up staying home with my cable. I did surprisingly well, not really sure how? #16 in Open #13 in Limited. Neal in AZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h2osport Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 As far as numbers go, I had a buddy at #118 for the 2007 lim10/open nats and he got in pretty early. Vegas is a whole different beast because of the ability to get there via air for pretty reasonable ticket prices. That might affect how many people keep their slots as well as the number of people trying to get on the wait list. Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10mmdave Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Why has anyone not answered the questions about "what wait list" ???Last I read the wait list didn't start till the end of the month ?? (I have May 27th in my head for some reason ) Just wondering, just seems folks keep posting over the question. It's up, just go to USPSA.com and see. H. I did check the USPSA site after posting (probably should have checked 1st ) yup, says the wait list starts on the 17th.....I was just 10 days off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackBuzzard Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Since it looks likely I'll get in, I checked out Google Map satelite images of the range. To say it is "extensive" might be an understatement. I lost count of how many bays it had. BB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intel6 Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 (edited) I found my answer, we have a week to pay the $25 for the waiting list. Neal in AZ Edited May 18, 2009 by Intel6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlamoShooter Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Well I was trying to get a friend on the list =I was waiting in ambush on the computer, I started entering info 2 seconds after it opened , but I did not punch the slot for limited or open so it rejected it. = I had to go back. he ended up with 110 out of one bump when it went through the time said 11.03 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norbs007 Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Somebody up there hates me. Computer was up 7:55pm (PST) and just waiting, 8:00 came and DANG! NO INTERNET! Panicked for 5 minutes, reboot 3 times...nothing; reset cable modem nothing! Reset wireless router...nothing. Pretty pissed off at this point fired up the laptop hoping to find an unsecured network...nothing! Come 8:31 INTERNET IS UP! Signed up quick...#215 for Open\Production. Still hoping though. Comcast must be working around the area, service was down when I click on Add Reply and have to add this line in. You'll get in... 'cuz I SAID so... Hahaha idk, that's just the reason that my parents gave me for everything when i asked them anything as a kid. "Why?" "Cuz I said so!" lol Thanks for the encouragement young Jedi...may your angel tongue bring me luck. Part of the delay was because I was entering myself and two other shooters. Have to call them both for their address. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin c Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 ...Part of the delay was because I was entering myself and two other shooters. Have to call them both for their address... Norbert, you are way to generous. For slots, it's every man for himself. Only exception are the couples I know. (Unless, of course, you're a threesome? ) Just kidding, dude - here's hoping we can make for a huge Richmond HotShots squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have figured they'd be really close to each other. I was done at 8:03pm. Kevin, have fun with that slot.... michaels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audifn Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 "You are number 2 on the waiting list for the Open, Production 10 nationals but have not paid."Man, someone else out there must be really fast, because I copied and pasted all my info pretty quickly. If only I could shoot as fast. Yup I am the one that beat you. I am #1 on the wait list for Open/Prod and #15 For limited Nationals... I don't know how I did it, but I'm not complaining Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zerwas Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 I wonder how many people ended up on the waiting list for both nationals? Curious due to the economy and the location if the numbers are about the same or if there was a decrese due to the economy or perhaps an increase due to the location this year. Man, talk about your run on sentences..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowlands Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 A question of curiosity.....Are international shooters taking perference over US shooters on the wait list? I wouldn't think so. Was harsh being behind the PC at the moment the waiting list opened though, 5am on a monday morning is a good time for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shred Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 International shooters have to get on the list like everybody else.... We tried to get a slot for the Honduras RD, but none of the President slots were left, so he's trying for the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
