    Confirmed Nationals entries

    It could be that I'm just looking in the wrong place on the USFA site, but I can't seem to find the list of confirmed entries for Miami. Is it too early for that, or am I just not seeing it?

    It's probably too early. Look again after the late registration deadline has passed.

    They typically will have it before the late registration deadline. But since this event is so huge, I would imagine it taking a lot longer to compile the lists than for NACs.

    I have to imagine that every name coming in goes into a spreadsheet or database. The work to compile the list should be the same no matter how large the event. You click the "compile the list of entrants" button

    I'm sure the USFA would use a more difficult and time-consuming process, perhaps a batch process or some triple-redundancy process that would indeed take up take scaled to the number of entries.

    On another note, I have received my entry confirmation papers.

    Yeah, that's why I'm checking online. I haven't got mine yet, but I faxed my entry in 5 days or so before the deadline, so they probably haven't sent my confirmation out yet. Hopefully.

    I put off sending mine in until two days before the deadline (having a very hard time convincing myself that fencing is fun right now. sigh.) and got my confirmation materials shortly thereafter. You might want to check in with them before the late entry deadline.

    Yup. My husband did his on the deadline day, and got the confirm in the mail yesterday. Definitely need to check.

    Hey now! I'm trying to give them the benefit of the doubt.

    Maybe they work with a LIFO process.

    If it's based on piles of paper, that's certainly possible.
