I didnt understand what was happening with signing up for CMP.
At 6:00am Hawaii time, we tried to get in repeatedly. It kept saying ineligible until about 6:10am, it finally said eligible, at which time we got waitlisted.
I called FIRST about 6:05am and they said it was probably because the official eligibility sign up was tomorrow.
I didnt believe it still trying.

Then I called back and said we got waitlisted (eligible). Two weeks ago, they said getting in was based on who paid first, and so on. When I asked, they said that policy got changed back to who signed up first because people complained about not being able to pay on the spot.
Personally, I think the issue went from one complaint type to another. Now, its about who can get through the system faster than others. Hawaii always had a hard time signing up for these situations due to our location. We tried Florida several years ago and couldnt get in for an hour. By the time we got on, we knew why. Everyone that wanted to sign up, already did and filled the regional.
What about teams that are prepared to pay and do what it takes to raise the funds necessary to participate vs who can get on the fastest?
