We got in to system in microseconds of system opening time on day one but had to start from scratch and set up an account before we could actually select possible hotels and prioritize our selections. Within a couple hours we got a confirmation email that we got our 6th choice Did teams that previously registered for District housing have to start from scratch like the rest of us non-District teams? Good thing we booked a reasonable alternative last April.

So, once again we came nowhere close to getting into one of our top 3 choices. Kudos to those who did... If Moe got into the Drury CC again I am going to call the FBI...(just kidding )

MOE had the same issues. We were told that morning that everybody had to re-register for Champs, even if you had previously registered.

And you can cancel the call to the FBI; MOE got the Hampton Inn Gateway Arch (is that your "reasonable alternative"?). Drury was booked by the time we got through.

Carol,
Hampton Inn was our number 2 choice behind the Drury...looks like you guys still made out pretty good! We'd be happy to trade you our rooms in the Plaza. Darn those millisecond delays in our signals from out West anyways

Update 3:

Finally heard back about our reservations. With only 3 choices left in walking distance at the time we booked, I guess I should be thankful we got our 3rd choice from those that were left...

We got the amount of rooms we requested and looks like we're going to be staying at the Hilton at the Ballpark. Even though we asked for rooms from the 21st-25th, we only got rooms for the 22nd-25th.

Time to call Experient again.

Just wait until you get there and they tell you they double booked your rooms.

We usually stay with you guys in the Drury... but we were booted too.
We were told that they were keeping the Drury for volunteers so no teams could really stay there. bummer

We are in the Ramada which is just west of the dome.
We will miss you!!

Bob,
987 is staying at the Ramada again. It is in decent location (right across from pit load in and we could often exit same doors), and close to restaurants on Washington. The hotel could sure use a remodel though...one of our parents tripped on big tear in her room's carpet and wound up in the hospital but otherwise it works out ok.
