They have until 2:30 when I board my plane to make an announcement. I think I have a layover around 5:00, so i can check then, as well. Ugh. I better know something before I leave for this trip.
I head out of town in the evening. If I don't hear anything by 5:00, I'll be doing some drinking at the airport bar.

I hope you guys get in. The wait is so annoying. Have you tried checking the pending charges on your credit card yet? That was my first "confirmation" into getting into the NYMC last year. I didn't get the confirmation email until about 12 hours after the charge appeared.
Sorry if I'm adding another thing to be obsessively checking!

This is actually backfiring on people and causing even more freak outs. LOL BAA puts a hold on your card when you register, but most cc companies only leave pending charges up for 3 days. For most people, this is going on for 7-10 days, so (naturally) the holds are dropping off, and people are FREAKING. (Even though our registration email said that they would definitely go away.) BOA (the cc I used) appears to leave holds up for 7 days, because mine stayed there longer than most, but went away on Monday.

Gotcha. I guess when I registered for NYC, there was a much longer time between registering and finding out if we got in of the temporary hold wasn't an issue. If it was there, it was long gone by lottery day.

What's funny is that despite knowing that it doesn't mean much, I still checked my cc. LOL I THINK (but who really knows?) that they'll likely announce the cutoff before charging any of the BQ-<5:00 cards. That's the only way they can prevent the hysteria that would ensue when people started posting "My card was charged! I'm BQ-4:17!""Mine was charged, I'm BQ-1:52!" etc, etc. I had friends find out about NYC the way you did, though.

That's how most people find out about Hood to Coast too. They cash the checks before sending out the acceptance emails to make sure the checks go through. If your check doesn't go through your team gets tossed! I have spent many days checking my online checking account

Are you in the squeaker FB group? I think I see you over there, unless there are multiple people with similar names heading oot, tomorrow!

I'm there! Did you see the post from the girl who called and was told it will definitely be tomorrow morning?
OOO i just joined the squeaker group too. As if I need another place to look at the obsessing.
I have to work tomorrow until 3 and am training a new employee... How the F am I supposed to be like "yeah, I am going to be checking my personal email obsessively every 5 minutes. I don't normally do that, but ya know.. don't mind me!"

I think they'll make a cutoff announcement before we get emails. If it's easier/quicker for you, send me your number & I'm happy to text you as soon as they announce it.
Totally stalking this thread all day...eep! I'm actually basing my decision on whether to register for Kiawah marathon or half on the cut off from this year. Hoping for the best for everyone!
