Does anyone know how does it work for the CW show signings?

Most CW shows are Warner Bros. They're a drawing first thing in the morning in the Sails Pavilion.

@ozzz
You have to line up in the everything else line, then inside the convention center go to sails pavilion and find the warner line, it will take outside sails to the back of the convention center and down the stairs, depending on the time you entered the line. It's the same line for all the warner shows of that day. When is your turn, they'll ask you for what show you're trying for, then hand you a bag with tickets and you draw one to know if you win or not. Besides the warner table there's a board with the scheduled signings for the day and their availability at the moment.
Be careful to not confuse lines and to ask someone at anytime if you're not sure the way... It happened to me last year (my first year)

Question, can you draw a ticket for lets say more than one show or is it you have to chose one show only?

One show, but you can get back in line for another.

We were in the everything else line and kids made their way to the autograph line this is how the board will look in the morning, one draw and if you want to try again you have to get in back of the line. It’s not hard to pick winning ticket, a lot more winning tickets than losing tickets.

The day before, we camped out and took shifts with a lineup group.

Just for reference what everyone has mentioned is how it has been done the last few years.  There have been hints and mentions that there will be a major change to their system this year though.  Nothing official, just something to watch out for.

People at WonderCon (including the DC people running all of the DC signings) said that they thought it was very likely that they would have online lotteries for autographs at SDCC this year.

I just noticed the WC online exclusive signings lottery  opened 3 weeks before the start of the con

Do you guys think SDCC will do the same with dates as in open it 3 weeks before the con?

It seems like a reasonable timeline.

And it’s this mindset that makes online lotteries less appealing. The lack of effort required significantly dilutes the odds. Hopefully there is a limit (attached to member ID) to the number of signings a person can enter for.
