Thank you for all of that information [member=5612]Kmd2103[/member] , [member=1291]semigeekgirl[/member] and [member=5598]NoOtherOptions![/member] It looks like i will need to practice my typing skills over the next few months
Honestly I wouldn't worry, I had friends fill out after me that got better hotels and one's before me that got nothing. Just make sure you know where you want to stay.
looks like hotel registration date is incorrectYou are not allowed to view links. Register or Login
Darn, I just submitted my request for that day off and now I have to wonder, is it really that date and CCI (for whatever reason) doesn't want the date released or is it really going to be a different date
I never understood why the dates are secret. The badges are going to sell out no matter what. So why the mystery? For press?
I'm starting to freak out about dates. I just got airfare covered by my company and would love to solidify hotel and badges.
Wouldn't we all! Unfortunately, CCI likes to keep us hanging....
There was never any official description, at least none that I saw. We did collect enough data form the forum to have a pretty good idea of what the process was, and hopefully this year we can do the same.I'll summarize, but here's the post from last year and there is a lot of discussion in the 2016 threads.You are not allowed to view links. Register or LoginThe most important factor in 2016 was when you were given access to the form, the time it took you to fill out the form did not appear to play as large as a role, if any (we can't be entirely positive.) We don't know to what extent requests that were given access to the form at the same time were further randomized. Your chances of getting one of your top-6 picks dropped quickly based on the time you got to the form, to basically nil after 3 minutes.They were more aggressive about flagging duplicate requests compared to previous years.There was no "put me in any downtown hotel if my top 6 are unavailable" option.The "queue number" that you saw was not global, but rather your place in one of many distinct queues. This caused a lot of confusion.Even if things work similarly this year, which is a pretty big assumption, I still think it's a good idea to fill out the form as quickly as you safely can. There is always the possibility that things are different this year or that it gets used as a tiebreaker. To put it another way, last year if person A got to the form in the first minute but submitted after person B who got in in the second minute but filled out the form really fast, person A still fared better. What we don't know is if person C and D got the the form at the same time, then did their submission times play a secondary role.
I couldn't understand if they had so many of these hotel rooms left, why didn't they take the extra few days and sort threw their information and distribute accordingly before they forced this huge scare...
