PLEASE READ THIS EMAIL THOROUGHLY! This is your receipt, confirming that you have entered the lottery for Splash! 2011. This is not confirmation of enrollment in any class; to view your actual class schedule, you must check the website on or after November 6.
On 10/27 I stayed up with my son to register for SPLASH, despite a few hiccups with the web site. I saved a copy of his selections, they are below in case that helps. We received an email confirming that we had entered the lottery.
Logging in today, I see that he has no class selections. I assume it's too late to do anything (other than walk-ins), but I thought I'd check just in case.
He initially registered as ewewm, but due to his birthday the registration form selected 6th grade (he's actually in 7th grade). The system wouldn't allow him to register for any classes since it had him in 6th grade. He registered a second time as ewewm2 (ID 61491), carefully selected 7th grade, and selected classes for the lottery. Received email confirming lottery registration.
We're flying from Pittsburgh for SPLASH. If there's anything that can be done to restore his class selections I'd appreciate it.

We have a user who reported that he entered the lottery, and received a confirmation e-mail, but upon logging in to check the results, had nothing showing. We checked, and the user indeed had no bits saved (not even any expired ones), and had no ConfEmail or Confirmed user bits set. But in the esparchive, there was indeed an e-mail sent to that user.
Registrations are saved before the confirmation e-mail is sent, so I don't know how this could've occurred.
I don't know if this is a bug in the code, or in the custom setup that MIT used.
