There's never too much data :) Just not enough rooms downtown :(

Thanks again to everyone who has posted, I'll finish going through everything over the weekend in advance of Monday's news. Wishing good luck to everyone still waiting on a room!

Got in at 9:02

Submitted 9:05

1 room 1 bed, 6 downtown, 0 non downtown

chose closest to convention

put on wait list

Two days, Friday and Saturday

Top choice OMNI

Got nothing so far I'm hoping Monday brings better news!

Do you guys think it affects my probability of getting a room if I only requested Friday and Saturday as in I would have a higher chance of getting a room if I had requested more days?

Thanks!

Also, good luck to you all!

cheers! :)

You are lucky. I only submitted one entry and I think I got in at 9:02 and the form was done by 9:04 and I got nothing at the moment. I also requested 2 beds.

Looking forward to your report [member=4270]mark[/member] ! From my non-statistical viewpoint, it seems like from reading this thread, a lot of people struck out with their choices even after getting in around 9:01 or 9:02, which seems a lot earlier than last time.
