FAQs:
Q: I am entering the lottery with my friend/partner/spouse/etc. How does this work?
A: We will put your names (together) into the lottery ,TWICE, to
provide you with equal probability.
Please note for those attending with a partner: We can count both of
your names as one, and put you into the lottery twice.
Q: I only want to come if I can have a single room. What if the only
opening is a double?
A: We will fill the single versus double rooms as they are selected
by the lottery process. If there are no single rooms available when
you are picked then you will be placed on the waiting list for a
single.
Q: I am fine with being in a double. Do I have to pre-select a
roommate?
A: No, we will assign you a roommate.
Q: How quickly does the waitlist open up?
A: It depends on when people cancel. Sometimes it is right before a
refund deadline. Often there are cancellations at the last minute due
to illness or life circumstances, so being flexible can work out in the
end.
