Here's what I've seen so far. If you have received your confirmation email, please quote and edit: # 103x faxed at 12:25pm CT Monday # 130x faxed at 1:45pm CT Monday # 201x faxed at 3:00pm CT Monday # 301x faxed at 5:00pm CT Monday # 5xxx faxed at about 6:30pm CT Monday. I know I'm leaving some of you guys out so please keep this running.
FYI- From a Yanks in Germany poster: "Fax went through at 12:21 HST -- 4:21PM US Central. Confirmation # 10XX"
updated # 103x faxed at 12:25pm CT Monday # 130x faxed at 1:45pm CT Monday # 201x faxed at 3:00pm CT Monday # 301x faxed at 4:20 CT Monday # 10xx faxed at 4:21 CT Monday # 301x faxed at 5:00pm CT Monday # 5xxx faxed at about 6:30pm CT Monday. That one from the Yanks listserv doesnt make sense compared with the others
Something is beyond messed up with this Either way, anyone who fedexed it was screwed. This totally smells.
I wonder if the confirmation number has anything to do with the number of ticket requested per match? My number is 20xx, and I requested 2 seats. just a thought.
it's too much of a coincidence that all those order #'s (except one weird one) have a 0 as the second digit. at least i hope so.
I'll bet the first digit is a number corresponding to the office worker who logged the application and sent the e-mail. That is, worker #1 sends confirms with numbers 1xxx, second worker sends confirms with numbers 2xxx, etc. Just an alternate theory.
Let me get this straight. You guys are trying to discover a rhyme or reason to something that the USSF did? Good luck!
Anyway. Some of you guys should seriously consider taking a timeout. Who here has any idea what anything means at this point? There is such a critical shortage of information on so many fronts, that an exercise like this thread is just a waste of time. 1. We don't even know how many tickets are actually being made available to folks like us in this sale. It might be the full 8 percent. It might be less than one percent, after sponsor paybacks, families, employees, and such. 2. We don't know how many ticket applications were received. 3. We don't know how they are handling or prioritizing faxes/fedexes. 4. We have no idea how many faxes they were actually capable of receiving. 5. etc. 6. etc. Yes, the fax situation was frustrating. But yes, there was always a chance you wouldn't get tickets. And yes, you're not going to know for a while, and trying to decipher something by looking at fax confirmation numbers and such is just silly. Until someone from US Soccer provides more info on what's going, or until you actually have a confirmation that they received your fax, and confirmation that your credit card was charged for tickets, you're just needlessly wasting your time, not to mention the time of others who are trying to keep an eye out for some meaningful news.
Do you seriously believe that USSF will give a definitive explanation? We could chill all we want, but that won't negate the fact that USSF staff told different people different things, USSF accepted faxes from nonofficial lines, etc.
Congrats. At this rate, the FedEx and UPS apps that arrived around 9:40 AM on Tuesday won't be getting numbers anytime soon. Hope I'm wrong.

You can argue the thread all you want, nobody is making any definitive statements, but there is a clear pattern and correlation between the time of the fax and the number. Whether that will turn out to mean something we won't know yet. But out of the 11 faxes listed above, only 2 do not make sense if you are looking for a relationship between time and confirmation #.
According to Goose, who just talked to the USSF, the confirmation numbers are random and not ordered by the time they were recieved.

Who at USSF said that? The person who said that they were no longer accepting faxes or the one who said to keep faxing?
Look, I really don't think anybody at USSF said to stop faxing. I think whoever broke that is a liar and used it as a ploy to free up the fax lines so that he could send his application in. I didn't catch the name of the person I spoke to, sorry.
