I emailed them and explained in my cancellation message and never heard back, so I figure that is that. I just hope I'm not permanently blacklisted going forward.squarekara wrote: ↑Fri Jun 14, 2019 7:39 pmSorry about this. If you keep in touch with TPTB, maybe you can reschedule for another city before the next online test. Hope it works out!
Maybe email once more and ask to be considered for an upcoming audition.

Can confirm. When I got The Email I was between jobs. I scraped together every last penny and didn’t think to ask the board for help (or was too proud). Regardless the board knew and helped get a go fund me together for what was one of the top five moments of my life.Peachbox wrote: ↑Fri Jun 14, 2019 2:23 pmYep. In these circumstances, I would definitely try to help a boardie get to an audition.triviawayne wrote: ↑Tue Jun 11, 2019 9:07 pmWell that really sucks.
Next time, don’t be afraid to ask for help in such a situation...we might have got you there
Haven't people posted here about missing out due to unforeseen/ uncertain circumstances and then successfully transferring their reservation to another locale? Maybe in the "Timing of audition e-mails" thread?morbeedo wrote: ↑Fri Jun 14, 2019 8:45 pmMaybe email once more and ask to be considered for an upcoming audition.

1. I'm confident there's no way you've been blacklisted. The CC's aren't like that.squarekara wrote: ↑Sat Jun 15, 2019 10:28 amHaven't people posted here about missing out due to unforeseen/ uncertain circumstances and then successfully transferring their reservation to another locale?

Don't worry about being blacklisted. You were courteous enough to notify them about your situation, and I bet some folks just blow off the audition without bothering to send word. TPTB may not ever acknowledge your e-mail, but, yeah, make it clear that you'd be willing to "stand by" for any upcoming auditions in your area--maybe anything south of the Mason-Dixon line.
Fwiw, I overlooked an audition invitation (not sure exactly how that happened) and emailed them later, well past the reply date. I didn't hear back, but I did get another audition invitation.squarekara wrote: ↑Sat Jun 15, 2019 10:28 am ...

Yeah, Mehrun is apparently setting that up. It is at 7PM tomorrow night at Cafe Saint-Ex. Anyone who wants to join the DC Jeopardy People group I had set up on FB, just go ahead and ask. I, unfortunately, am out of town and disconsolate about that fact.MarkBarrett wrote: ↑Mon Jun 17, 2019 10:19 am On FB there was a post about a pub trivia night and J! contestant coordinators coming up in Washington, D.C., so Austin's place has company for that format of potentially finding contestants.
The way I read the thread about it on the LL message board, it was ambiguous, but it sounds like Mehrun's event in DC will be an opportunity to chat with contestant coordinators but not an actual audition.MarkBarrett wrote: ↑Mon Jun 17, 2019 10:19 am On FB there was a post about a pub trivia night and J! contestant coordinators coming up in Washington, D.C., so Austin's place has company for that format of potentially finding contestants.

I actually got quite a lot right. I think it was somewhere around 40.triviawayne wrote: ↑Wed Jun 19, 2019 7:25 amnot a whisperTenPoundHammer wrote: ↑Tue Jun 18, 2019 11:15 pm Any word on Columbus yet? I picked that because it was slightly closer than Chicago for me.
