There's been a lot of email traffic recently regarding the wait list and how it will work so we thought a little run down might help.

The wait list will open at midnight, Eastern Standard Time, on Wednesday, March 28th. That's the evening of March 28th, not the 27th. At that time a link will appear in the member's area of the USPSA website at www.uspsa.org/members. Simply click the link anytime after that point and fill out the form to which it takes you. Keep in mind that you'll need the username and password on page one of Front Sight magazine to access the member's area of the website if you've never been there before.

Here are some things to keep in mind about the wait list process:

• You'll have an opportunity to sign up for either or both matches at the same time.
• You will need to have credit card information available in order to pay a $25 per match deposit.
• The deposit will be deducted from the price of your slot should you be offered one.
• If you're not offered a slot the deposit will be refunded to you.
• If you are offered a slot and choose to turn it down, the deposit will not be refunded, so please sign up only if you're really serious about attending the match(es).
• If a slot becomes available we will send you an email and place a notice on your Classification record stating that you are being offered a slot, so it's very important that you check these things regularly after signing up. Your Classification record is the place you go when looking up your classifier details and can be accessed simply by typing in your member number from the front page of uspsa.org.

• If you receive the notification email and/or see the notice on your Classification record you will immediately be able to confirm and pay for the slot on-line by following the link provided on your record. DO NOT DELAY as that notice will disappear after 5 days and then the slot is gone. It cannot be reclaimed. If this happens you will also get a notice stating that your slot offer has expired, so there is no need to call the office to ask, "Was I offered a slot? Did it disappear?" You'll know.
• If you call the office asking your status we will just look at your Classification record, so you have access to all available information on-line that we have.
• It's very important that the contact information you put on the wait list form is accurate. If we can't reach you, you risk forfeiting your slot. Double-check your email address and phone number for typos and transposed numbers, etc. We need a good email address in order to email you regarding slot availability and there are times that we need to contact you regarding your entry on the wait list, credit card problems, etc. Without good contact info, your entry on the list isn't much good.
• If you're contacted with the offer of a slot we can't give you time to "think about it" -- there are a lot of people under you who already know they want to go. If you sign up, that should mean you are serious about attending. If you need time to think it over we will have to move you down the list and hope to come back to you later.


We thank you all for your cooperation and understanding!
