I'm sure I'm not the only one who has been pulling my hair out the past few weeks, but in honor of all the crazyness regarding WC tickets I'd like to get some action going on the prediction side.

Let's predict who's in and why. Perhaps in the form of a cut-off date or time
for apps. We've been exposed to all kinds of facts and rumors on this whole deal, but which is which? Was the fax machine really broken? Exactly how many tickets are available? How many passwords were issued? All of these factors must be considered.

There is plenty of evidence available in this forum so if you're as bored and anxious at the same time as myself give er a guess and maybe some reasoning.

And for God's sake if you get a notification from USSF let us know details!

**********************

I'm guessing those who had them in by Dec 14th will get tix. I've heard some quotes from Amy (rumors) that influence me, but it's mostly from banging away at my calculator while reading these boards for the last 2 weeks. ( What did we say 4 minutes per fax?)

So Dec 14th.

It is a bit of a mystery isn't it. I for one would really like to know how many fax machines they were using. That's an important factor (along with number of tickets)

I think they had a ton of faxes. I say Dec 13th at 5pm ct

Why? Isn't there already enough anxiety?

Side question: Am I the only one checking his Visa activity once a day to see if any charges from the USSF has hit the account?

You're not affiliated with the USSF are you? That's against the rules of this contest and if we had fine print it would read accordingly.
