The wait list is moving fast. I voided all unreturned slots yesterday at 5 pm PST and started issuing invites around midnight last night. I think I invited around 80 or so then. I have a few more to invite, but I need to crunch some numbers first.
I just want to remind you to check your email for your invite if you're expecting one, but remember that email is imperfect -- both from our end and yours. If you made a typo when entering your email address it will result in an email floating around in cyberspace and sometimes our server will hiccup under the load and an email might not make it to you for whatever reason. The backup plan in that event, and one that will not fail no matter what (knockwood), is your classification lookup page. Please keep an eye on that if you're expecting a slot from the wait list. You'll see a notice and a link on that page to claim your slot. You can just click that link, claim your slot, pay for it and be done.
I say this because we have been experiencing a rash of people who have not claimed their slots online in the required time (six days) and are then completely shocked when the invite disappears. If this happens, it's gone. I can't get it back for you. Even if you claim you never got the email. Even if you claim you never saw the invitation on your classification lookup page. Even if you claim you were abducted by aliens for seven days and had no chance, what with all the probing, to get to a computer to process your slot. It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that there's 200+ other people waiting in line for that slot, you have been given ample warning and it's not fair to those still waiting patiently.
Please check your email and record regularly and once invited, claim your slot within 6 days if you intend to make the match. If you find that you're unable to make it, an email or phone call would be greatly appreciated versus letting your 6 days run out, so that we may remove your invite and move immediately to the next person in line.
We greatly appreciate your cooperation with this process and look forward to seeing you in Tulsa in a few months!
