Virtual waiting room for online registration
We continue to use a virtual waiting room to help your online experience on registration days.
Customers who arrive on the website between 5:30 a.m. and 5:59 a.m. on each registration day will be put into a virtual waiting room. At 6 a.m. all customers in the waiting room will be randomly placed in line to await their turn to access the website.
There is no advantage to arriving on our website before 5:30 a.m.
Anyone who visits the website after 6 a.m. will be placed in order of arrival after those who were in the virtual waiting room.
