For those interested in last year's data and the success rate by when you were allowed in:

You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login

While it may be different this year, this summarizes:

In within a minute -->  Almost everyone got what they picked
In from 1 to 2 minutes --->  Most got downtown, about 2/3rd got what they picked
In from 2 to 3 minutes --->  about 1/4 got what they picked about 1/2 got downtown

After that, chances for downtown dropped substantially.  TFor the people who got in after four minutes no one got a downtown hotel.

The above was based on initial allocations and not the waitlist.

Of course, there are many different variables this year.  The staggering of the confirmations could mean something positive if they are re-distributing returned hotels immediately rather than saving them for the waitlist.  Having some hotels unavailable to us could mean something else.

----------------------------------
I'm really worried since I'm seeing a lot of people get in under 2 minutes. At 9:02:36, I feel like it's not really a good time.  My stomach has been hurting since Wednesday and I ache all over.   :(

Final Result:  Wyndham San Diego Bayside - 1 King, Double Occupancy

What time did you submit the form?  ~9:03:00 (my cache no longer has this data, so just a guess)

How many downtown hotels did you choose (0-6) 6
How many non-downtown hotels did you choose (0-6) 0

What option did you pick if your preferred hotels weren't available? closest to the convention center
What waitlist preference did you pick? yes

Form 2
What time were you given access to the form? 9:01:48
What time did you submit the form?  9:04:29

BTW, in my cache, it wasn't listed as cci.onpeak.info/addRequest.js. Rather it was something like d3oybw1d2gwk.cloudfront.net/comic/js/addRequest.js


UPDATE
If you get a notification, what group were you in? May 1st, 9:23am
What was your result? #1 choice - Omni

Thanks again everyone for posting!

I had to laugh when I saw the post from [member=4229]Satam[/member] , a couple times last year when I was going down the spreadsheet I had, which was sorted by user name, I would be skimming such that the names would run together. The name Saban was right above Satam and my brain would merge them and I would think wow, who signed up under the name Satan?

Hi [member=2712]Dileo33[/member] , thanks for posting! If you don't mind me asking, what hotel gave you the problem?

If I remember correctly, it was the Hilton Gaslamp.

Come to think of it, I had the same issue, with the same hotel. I picked my hotel #1 and the form added the hotel as expected; then I attempted to pick Hilton Gaslamp as hotel #2, and the webform wouldn't recognize the selection. For a minute I thought maybe that hotel was sold out (~ to PN selling out) but then I tried hotel #3 and the form accepted it right away.  Then I tried Hilton Gaslamp again to no avail. After that I added hotels 4,5,6 no problem. Then I tried Hilton Gaslamp again, the form still would not add it. Finally I refreshed the page (fingers crossed) and only then would the form add Hilton Gaslamp to the list.  Somewhat surprisingly, the form retained all the other information, and I just bumped Hilton Gaslamp up the list to the spot where I wanted it to be.

I was too scared to refresh so I just swapped the Hilton Gaslamp with the HardRock, which was not originally on my list.
