Numbers/Fax Times

[nkuchida]

The UPS and Fedex numbers are BS; look at the poster/prankster on both occasions; he/she/it has less than 10 posts

Just because I haven't posted here before doesn't mean I'm a prankster!

I joined back in 2003 and have enjoyed lurking around the forums for a while. I don't really see what I'd stand to gain by giving you a BS confirmation number (unlike sending out a "USSF isn't accepting any more faxes!" message ;) ).

out of the 21 faxes listed above, only about 4 do not make sense if you are looking for a relationship between time and confirmation #.


** my theory is that the Fedex/UPS applications are time-stamped and whenever that is (which would have been afternoon Monday), that represents their number

This is nuts. I am consumed by this. Maybe because this trip is a bachelor party of sorts for me. Gotta get these tix! Go 9:43 fedexers!

If so (and I have no reason to think this is true), this is more BullSh|t from USSF. They should have told us that was going to be the case, I would have had mine time-stamped at 12:00:01 on Monday and not stood by the damn fax machine for 6 hours on Monday...

Just prematurely reacting, that's all...

[Ricky_DCU]

I FedExed my forms and they arrived at 9:43am Tuesday and I just got an email from the USSF with a confirmation number of 80xx.

[roadkit]

I know everyone is hung up on the "number of fax machines" but I spoke to someone at USSF and they told me all the faxes were recieved by computer - think about it. You can "fax" from your computer - you can also receive a "fax" on your computer. They said they were printing them out so any rumors of broken faxes, nightmares of fax machines without paper, etc... didn't happen.


On the other hand, I can only think that whoever is out there in America that sent in their order but does not post on Bigsoccer must be in a much happier place than all of us. :D

[Old Man!]

7:09 FedEx F. Furtal.....

Nothing yet.

It's probably on the bottom of the pile. That's why I paid $60 to get it there by 8:00. yup. That was money well spent. :rolleyes:

[NattyBo]

I FedExed my forms and they arrived at 9:43am Tuesday and I just got an email from the USSF with a confirmation number of 80xx.

Hmm, you were on the 9:43 FedEx and got 80xx as well? Looks like a trend emerging.. :p

[Galaxian]

I was also at the 9:43 delivery but i have gotten no confirmation yet ? I hope I get it soon .. I'm a nervous wreck!

[DUSL]

First off, thanks to everyone on this board for all the info. My first week here and I'm quite impressed.
I'm a madfaxer who after hours of attempts ended up FedExing. Mine arrived at 7:09 and signed by Furtal. I just got a confirmation of 805X .
What upsets me is that I see people who's FedEx's arrived at 9amish with lower numbers. Hmmmm.
But--all is probably not lost.
Note that all the numbers are X0XX. So it does not appear they are using the second digit. That means for me in the 805X range there are 750 people in front of me. Assuming all bought 4 tickets, 750x4=3000. So I should be in the ballpark for tickets.
Nonetheless, given how FUBAR this whole process is, the only fair thing to do is to take all orders received on Monday or Tuesday and put them in a lottery.
Any thoughts?

[Marrazm]

Fedexed 7:09 Furtal

confirmation #83xx
(so the second digit being zero theory doesn't fly)

[FC Tallavana]

Just to add to the confusion, I UPS'ed my application in (Delivered at 9:42 on Tuesday) and *just* received a confirmation number of 20xx.

Mine was par tof the 9:42 UPS but I haven't received confirmation. Ugh!!!

[dfoote]

Fax at 11 p.m. CT, confirmation 61xx.

[Magpie Maniac]

#82xx FedEx 9:43 AM Tues

Now I just wait...

...and bitch.

:D

[SnakeEyes]

Just got my confirmation

1 ticket, first round, Cat III, Sam's Army

#83XX

FedEx 9:43

[Fussballman 7]

Overnight application into Chicago at 11:46 Tuesday morning. #85** whatever the heck that means.

[Wizhawk]

Delivered by FedEx at 7:09 Tuesday morning.

#82xx

...whatever that means

[NAC Orlando]

I ordered one (1) ticket for a friend that is going as well, we put Cat I (but checked for any other levels if no Cat I's left) for the three first round matches. Our order was also in the 7:00 am FedEx batch and our confirm # is:

81xx

updated # 30xx faxed at 5:06pm CT Monday
Sorry, I've been off-line & trying to fix my email problems most of the day. My time was 5:06 PM EST, which should be 4:06 PM CT, which dovetails nicely with some other "3" series confirmation #s.

I think whoever was told by USSF that the numbering was random had a snowy house in Miami sold to them for a few million :o

But look how many packages arrived on the two Fedex deliveries
