In reply to: In reply to: Jumper registration begins on July 1, 2006 at 2pm EST (19:00 GMT).
I'm a little confused.

Registration (and/or server crashing) seems to have started 2 pm east coast time, but it's Daylight Savings Time here, which is only 4 hours behind Greenwich, not the 5 for EST. Thus 1900 GMT = 1500 east coast time. So registration should start at 3pm local.

(If my memory isn't wrong, I thought in a previous year the Daylight Savings was factored into the time properly.)

It doesn't matter now for this year, but perhaps we can make it more clear next year.
You are absolutely correct, sir. Jason made the same mistake last year when I was living in Japan, I waited until EST (not EDT) and missed my #1 slot!!! Of all the outrages. I didn't say anything because I figured I was the only one who cared. No hard feelings Jason-

This is the fifth year we've opened registration at 2pm EST, but only the first time we've heard about the EST/EDT difference. You are correct - it should have been EDT. My apologies.

So, would that change it to 20:00 GMT?

I never received a confirmation email after my order on the 1st. Has anybody else gotten theirs? I'm pretty sure that I got in the first group, but I'd be pissed if somehow my order got messed up and never went through...

(jason if you have time to check, my email addy is brett at clearviewstudios dot net)

see y'all at the bridge

No need to apologize... I even considered the possibility of mixup beforehand, I was just too lazy to wake up an hour earlier and check! Regardless, I ended up having to miss bridge day anyway. Looking forward to it this year!

Alright..would love to jump, but I am not current. I am getting current soon, but I am not sure of the amount of jumps I will get in between now and bridge day. I jumped twice last year and would love to go again.....but not with my current status.

Is it possible to transfer a jump ticket off someone closer to BD if I manage to get current with several additional jumps?? Just want to know if I have that chance. Thanks

Yes I know folks buy and sell BD passes every year. I'm not sure what info Jason requires from the participants however, so best to ask him.

You have to pass the security screening check, so if you have already done that in a past year, it's a great deal easier.

Miss G8tordiver, consider just buying a pass, then re-selling it if you can't make it. That's going to be a much surer way to do things than trying to find a pass on late notice, plus you will get into the background check process from the beginning.

Re: [brits17] Bridge Day 2006 Registration Starts July 1st at 2pm

At this point in time, we are not permitting the transfer of BD passes this year due to the additional work involved on our end. We were overwhelmed with numerous "Joe sold his pass to me" statements on the Thurs/Friday before Bridge Day and we had no way of verifying that Joe actually made the sale. There are plenty of slots still available, so it shouldn't sell out anytime soon.

However, it is possible that we MIGHT make some exceptions and transfer a few passes only after the event sells out.
