A lot of these results aren't adding up -- lots of people getting emails and downtown hotels who reported getting in well after those who got in within a minute. The only explanation is that OnPeak and CCI issued incorrect guidance when they said that they rank based on when you got access to the form -- it must be that they're ranking based on form submission.

In at 9:02 (possibly earlier)

No dice and heard reports out to 9:03 is that true...

How many people get selected next week , just the leftovers?

Your not shutout until you get an email saying that they have no reservation for you. Your most likely in Wave 2, and no one knows how they sort people into Wave 1 vs Wave 2.

I got in 4 times under 2 minutes.  I got Solamar and Sheraton SD Bay and Marina.  Was requesting MGH.  Something is definitely off this year.

How did everyone that got in instantly on their phones fare? Just curious. :)
Got in instantly(my queue waiting screen turned into the bar screen and then to the official form, all within 1-3 seconds). I was on mobile and the time I noticed on my computer was 9:00. Got none of my top 6, got another downtown hotel.  My submission time was 9:06 because I didnt have autofill setup on my mobile. I think they changed something this year.

My friend got his email, they got his first choice, Embassy Suites. He got in under a minute.

I haven't received any, but his first trip with family got him a close hotel with breakfast.  Now wondering if there's a limit on how many family members get to eat?

We've stayed there -- had 5 at breakfast with no problem.

My friend just called onPeak, haha. I wouldn't normally suggest calling on the same day before the dust has settled, but because he was in before me by a minute and didn't get placed but I did,I was curious.

The CSR's can't check timestamps, but they are going to see if they can get the timestamp to confirm and get back to us. I wouldn't recommend calling just yet though, it wasn't very helpful but it was not fault of the CSR's - I think onPeak intentionally tells them as little information as they can.

That being said; and I don't mean to ignite too much hope here - but the CSR said;

"Wave 2 will have an equal amount of downtown hotels"
"Wave 1 and 2 hotels are totally randomized"

....

My husband got in instantly but he took his time submitting the information. Got an email today but not top 6. I don’t think it’s based on time of submission.

That makes absolutely zero sense and would also be a nightmare for OnPeak themselves. I suspect the CSRs (or their managers, more likely) are making sh*t up again.

I *really* want to believe this. But I’m highly skeptical. Why have two waves anyway? Or why not Wave 1 — all downtown, Wave 2 — leftover downtown and the rest?

But I’ll cling to that hope.

Got our first choice -- Embassy Suites -- BUT it gave us a king, instead of the two doubles that we picked. I know for the other hotels, this is a typical assignment (king bed + sofa bed for 4 adults), but we purposely picked the 2 doubles and the column on the CCI form even says the king is N/A for "2 adults, 2 beds", and we had a quad occupancy. I've already been on the phone with OnPeak and they submitted a support ticket for us to have it changed, but not feeling confident that will help.
