I gather it's first come first served for the 'non-NYRR qualifiers' so I was on the website at 17:00 GMT on the dot when entries opened and after about 30 mins in a queue, was able to submit. Now I gather it's a few weeks before I find out if I'm accepted!! Fingers xd as we are planning a family holiday in October half term to incorporate it and I want to get flights booked!!

FergusG Jan 2020 8:26pm, 30 Jan 2020 3,501 posts	0 FergusG Mine got stuck whilst they worked through the backlog in 2018: 15 Jan: I applied on back of an Abingdon qualifying time. 02 Feb: I asked if all was OK, as my status hadn't moved from 'Time Verification Pending'. 02 Feb: Was advised 'We are delayed more than usual due to high volume of applicants'. 24 Feb: I asked why my status was now 'In Drawing' - was there a problem with my time evidence? 26 Feb: Got word that I'd been accepted on strength of my qualifying time. Hopefully the process is a bit quicker and smoother for you Clare!
