Fizz :-) Oct 2020 8:37pm, 6 Oct 2020 4,444 posts	Quote Pin Fizz :-) I had five ballot places between 2006 and 2015, very lucky. How come your friend didn’t get a place under the five rejections scheme, folkieb?
folkieboater Oct 2020 8:49pm, 6 Oct 2020 19 posts	Quote Pin folkieboater Fizz is that still a thing??? Maybe she’s just stitching me up to have to run....
Velociraptor Oct 2020 8:50pm, 6 Oct 2020 49,026 posts	Quote Pin Velociraptor I think the five rejections qualifier stopped a few years ago. I got in that way in 2007.
Fizz :-) Oct 2020 8:53pm, 6 Oct 2020 4,445 posts	Quote Pin Fizz :-) No, I meant if she’s entered the ballot every year since 2002, why didn’t she get a place in 2007 and 2013? Or did I misunderstand what you meant?
geordiegirl Oct 2020 8:53pm, 6 Oct 2020 11,797 posts	Quote Pin geordiegirl I’ve entered at least 8 time’s last year was first I didn’t try as we would be away. Never got in yet.
folkieboater Oct 2020 9:10pm, 6 Oct 2020 20 posts	Quote Pin folkieboater It was stopped in 2010. I guess she must have missed a year or two out. Or knowing her, back in those days, didn’t open the letter 🤦🏼‍♀️ 🤷‍♀️
jennywren Oct 2020 9:43pm, 6 Oct 2020 15,878 posts	Quote Pin jennywren I didn’t enter the 2009 one (and so missed the 5 rejections thing) but I’ve entered every other year since 2007 without getting in. I don’t expect to get in for next year either.
Rosehip Oct 2020 9:53pm, 6 Oct 2020 18,085 posts	Quote Pin Rosehip I got in with my first entry in 2013. I didn't enjoy the noise, didn't have a particularly good event but keep entering the ballot despite preferring to be on the Fetchpoint side of the barriers. I have no idea why!
minardi Oct 2020 10:27pm, 6 Oct 2020 5,957 posts	Quote Pin minardi I did 2012 by having 5 rejects before then so it must have stopped after 2010
Fizz :-) Oct 2020 10:32pm, 6 Oct 2020 4,449 posts	Quote Pin Fizz :-) I came across the actual email in my archive the other day. It was in April 2010 that they ended the scheme, but if you had rejects from 2009 and 2010, you could continue the sequence and eventually claim your place.
