Just registered. Open capacity was 35, was 31 when I clicked register, was 21 after I registered and is now...Crashed.

Re: 2017 Miami Valley Regional (formerly Queen City)
 

I tried to register, and crash. I am infuriated right now.

Re: 2017 Miami Valley Regional (formerly Queen City)
 

We got registered before the Great Crash Part 2. Remains to be seen if they will reset.

Re: 2017 Miami Valley Regional (formerly Queen City)
 

Opening back up. Now at 18 spots left.

Re: 2017 Miami Valley Regional (formerly Queen City)
 

Hope all that need to get in to MVR can! Sadly, Week 2 is a conflict for a major event at our school so we'll be missing out on competing at MVR this year.

I intend to volunteer and bring a few Beaks along with me.

Good luck to all attempting to register!

Awesome! Yeah it was either that weekend or the same weekend as Buckeye. This year was hard.

Re: 2017 Miami Valley Regional (formerly Queen City)
 

Well, we finally got in. 26th try. Took about 40 minutes. Ugh! Now we can start focusing on more interesting tasks.

Re: 2017 Miami Valley Regional (formerly Queen City)
 

379 is in for the MVR! See you all in week 2...

The planning committee met last week and decided to clear the waitlist. We have 7 teams on it.

Re: 2017 Miami Valley Regional (formerly Queen City)
 

By "clear", is that everyone who was on it is in? Or nobody who was on the wait list is in? I don't see any new teams on the team lists (which is why I'm asking)

Re: 2017 Miami Valley Regional (formerly Queen City)
 

Clearing the waitlist always means letting the teams in. How the process works is the teams are emailed and asked if they want to still go and then FIRST waits for a response. As the teams respond then they are added. Our initial number of open spots was 35 and we are currently at 37 so 2 teams have cleared the waitlist and been added. We are opening it up to 45 now, 7 waitlisted teams plus 3 open spots, and still holding back 5 spots for late registering teams.

Re: 2017 Miami Valley Regional (formerly Queen City)
 

That's different from how it works elsewhere.
How come you decided to query teams before pulling them off the waitlist?
Is there a historic problem with admitting teams not really intending to come?

Re: 2017 Miami Valley Regional (formerly Queen City)
 

Not sure, that's how its worked as far as I know. Whenever our team has been on a waitlist that is how we have always come off the waitlist into an event. My assumption was they wanted to make sure the team still wanted to go vs. having the intention to go elsewhere or not go at all.

Re: 2017 Miami Valley Regional (formerly Queen City)
 

Regional differences I guess. I'd just never heard of it before you mentioned it.
We just came off a waitlist here in NY and I just got the standard automated "you came off the waitlist" message.
My direct experience with waitlists is limited to East Coast events.

Re: 2017 Miami Valley Regional (formerly Queen City)
 

Different Regional Director. I'm sure each have their own preference for how they do it. Maybe a team who has come off the list can let us know. Our Planning Committee has no authority over that. The RD handles all of it.
