I wanna say that while 2015 was by hotel and spread out through out the day (I didn't get my Hilton Bayfront confirmation until close to 9 pm), last year was much more clumped together in the morning. I don't remember exactly if it was by hotel specifically

Ah yeah, I couldn't remember if it was 2016 or 2015. I know with TP it didn't usually take THAT long (to 9pm) and I remembered people freaking out because they stopped sending ANY e-mails for a couple of hours.

I finally remembered what e-mail I got the initial e-mail for the Hilton Bayfront (2016) was at 9:41 AM PDT.

PDT*

Ah, right! I'll edit my post ^^; I always forget when the time-change is because all my devices auto-update.

Yeah, now that people have mentioned it, I definitely recall the hotel emails going out in alphabetical order. So people who were assigned Andaz heard before Bristol, and they heard before Hard Rock, and they heard before Omni, etc. etc. etc.

Got my email at 8:42a PDT last year.

As crazy as 2015 was, I have fond memories of watching Twitter and the forum all afternoon as they slowly sent out confirmations.

Ready for Monday , who else lol

I'm a teacher & Monday happens to be one of our state testing days.  I will be stuck in a room monitoring 25 kids taking a standardized test from 7:30am-12:30pm without much access to the outside world as I can't have my phone or a computer on while in the room actively monitoring. So, I will literally be staring at kids in silence for 4-5 hours with a short break here and there to go to the bathroom and furiously check my phone for emails/updates.

I got mine 1 minute later.  Horton Grand.

Honestly, I'm not expecting anything on Monday.  I have a feeling based on my access time to the form that I won't hear until the 8th.  I have a feeling the only people hearing tomorrow will be people assigned Downtown hotels and people who chose non-Downtown hotels as their choices.  Everyone else will probably be on hold to the 8th as they see how many rooms don't get taken in the first round.  This is speculation, of course.

It's going to be a brutal day for everyone else--waiting for e-mails that aren't coming.

Hard to say because it was my IE browser that got in first and there's no easy way to get the exact time.  My best guess is around 3 minutes.  I think I submitted around six minutes after the hour.  I took my time entering everything and double-checked.

Last year, three minutes wasn't fast enough to get a downtown hotel.

Well join the club. I posted my time. I got in at 9:03:07. With Chrome, so I know that's accurate. Oh well. I guess my run had to end sometime. Either way, good luck to you. I hope you get something. I'm hoping someone here will be generous and offer their hotel to me. I keep thinking though, that my posts have made people hate me and I won't be offered anyone's downtown hotel haha.

I'm in that club too.  Didn't access form until around 9:05.  I've always received my #1 choice so this will be my first year hoping someone else can save me.  I've helped others with rooms and badges in the past so hoping some of that good karma comes my way.

omg I posted this in the wrong thread initially. SORRY TO ANYONE WHO MIGHT'VE SEEN IT. I immediately deleted in first post when I saw it a few seconds later @.@. I need sleep, I'm exhausted

--

I'm so anxious about tomorrow (even though I'm trying to distract myself with finals for a tourn. and my friend is distracting me.) Even THOUGH I have a back-up Gaslamp hotel 4 blocks away @.@

I have a speech therapy appt. tomorrow at 11:00 AM (so I'll be away from about 10:30-12:30) and if I don't hear back before then, I'm going to warn my therapist I'll have my phone out and will just be refreshing, so she doesn't take offense.

Yes, there is the hotel exchange.  I unloaded my back-up hotel that way last year, but I don't have one this year.  There's hoping for the waiting list.

I'm just not getting my hopes up of hearing tomorrow like many people seem to be.  OnPeak wouldn't have announced three days for sending notices if we weren't getting split some way.  For all we know, less than half of us will hear tomorrow.
