Not sure where to post this but Kelly and I are available to participate in the Hotel sale for anyone on the Forum. We already have our hotel (huge heavy thankful sigh to a certain Forum Member). 
If anyone wants to send me a good idea of what to put in the request I would be happy to do so. We were going to participate and offer it up here if we get anything.

This is going to be fun (NOT).  Well, I'll try to have fun with this.  It's been a crazy few years.  We went to CCSE and actually got Marriott Marquis a week before the event.  Was weird.

I also went to CCSE and I was able to book the Hilton Bayfront, which I could never get during the hotel lottery.

Since you get to put 12 choices down, I imagine that if you put the first 12 downtown hotels based on proximity to the Convention Center, you can't go wrong.

It's 6 downtown & 6 other if you go full 12

Ahh! I didn't know that.  Thanks!  Now I have to redo my list.

I just tested out the sample online form and it allowed me to select any 12.
I then went back into the 2022 hotel lottery instructions pdf and I couldn't find anything in there about having to split it up for 6 downtown and 6 other.

Can you show me where you got that information from?  It changes my ordering if it is the case.  I just want to be sure.

I think the 6 downtown and 6 anywhere else is based on previous years. I think they now allow 12 anywhere.

If your offer still stands, I'd love some help.  My usual people are out this year, so I'm going to do the lottery alone. Never hurts to have some help!

LUCKILY, I got dismissed very quickly from jury duty (I basically walked up to the back desk and told them how I'd literally just restarted from medical leave and my employer doesn't pay any days for jury duty and they let me go) and got to go back to work early in the day today. I DID miss the emails going out though, because there's basically 0 cell signal at work and I haven't figured out the wifi situation yet.

Time to go rally the troops even more than they already are on alert lol

I’m going to try for a hotel but my normal group bailed this year. Willing to share a room with someone.

39 M looking for hotel downtown. Cost isn’t an issue as long as it’s split evenly.

I will be sitting there at my keyboard with baited breath, but the last several years I have had to rely on the hotel exchange for accommodations. So here I am to participate, either to help someone get a room or to beg once again. Lol

Yes please!! I will be flying during this time frame so can’t imagine I will have the best luck doing this on the plane.
I will message you when I have time to look at the hotels and all tomorrow if your offer still stands. :)

Strategy question:

Does anyone know how the ranked choices actually work?

For example, if my number comes up, and my #1 choice is the Hard Rock and my #2 choice is the Bayfront, and the Hard Rock is full, do I immediately get a crack at the Bayfront, or does someone else with the Bayfront as #1 get their choice first?

I've never been quite sure of how they're picked, and I think I've made some bad choices as a result...

It's been awhile since I've dealt with anything SDCC (it's basically been off my radar since the pandemic started). So how does this exchange work again? Is there a spreadsheet? Or do we just stalk this thread, looking for people having hotels to offer and those who need one?
