Sorry for the delay in getting back to people, let's take care of all the questions in one long reply.
I recently applied for the lottery and at the bottom of the e-mail the blurb needs to be adjusted I believe.
"This mail does not mean you have booked a table, just that you have been entered into the lottery. The results of the lottey (successful application ID numbers) will be posted on the Nominoichi forums by >> early June <<."
Yeah. That's an error.
I will hopefully have the results ready by the 15th of April.
This leads me to believe that the process outlined in the "Is there a discount?" section of the Nominoichi rules is the one that takes precedence, but I would like a definitive answer on this.
We had intended to include an extra part of the sign up where you could just type in your 2022 table number, but due to an unexpected error that didn't happen this time.
We still have a list of 2022 sellers names and we will manually cross reference that list with the eventual list of 2023 names (once it's ready) and then apply discounts from that. The bottom line is: Don't worry, you didn't miss anything. It's our error, and we'll fix it.
Will applying a minute early affect my chances of being selected as a seller even under the current lottery system?
No.
As long as you have a table application ID number, you're in the system.
But, real talk, will winners of the lottery be notified before the badge mailout request cut off date of Apr 21, 2023?
We are aiming to get the list done and posted by the 15th. That should leave you with a week before the badge mail out deadline. A very smart option and one we recommend.
I think that's all the outstanding questions.
I have also set up this thread to address any specific registration issues or questions.
... and thanks again for your continuing interest in the Nominoichi!
