Congrats on the good news. I would guess that would be 3rd or 4th week of the season. Season 35. Wow.

And, of course, will be announced as from "Newfoundland, Canada," as opposed to all of those other Newfoundlands.OntarioQuizzer wrote: ↑Wed Jun 20, 2018 6:19 pmIn case this is pertinent:
There are 0 players in J! Archive billed as being from Newfoundland. Assuming you're living there when you tape, you'll be the first to actually be introduced as from Newfoundland.

"Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada", would be the correct name, but Alex probably wouldn't be so exact.seaborgium wrote: ↑Thu Jun 21, 2018 2:55 pmhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newfoundl ... nnsylvaniaWoppy T wrote: ↑Thu Jun 21, 2018 12:42 pmAnd, of course, will be announced as from "Newfoundland, Canada," as opposed to all of those other Newfoundlands.OntarioQuizzer wrote: ↑Wed Jun 20, 2018 6:19 pmIn case this is pertinent:

A huge Congrats to klakins on getting The Call.
I was on my way to the airport to do an audition in NYC on May 31 when my flight was cancelled at the 11th hour due to weather. I notified the J! folks but never heard back since.
Oh well, back to the next on-line test, I suppose.

There have been other players in the past from Newfoundland, Canada. I wonder why they would not be in the archive?OntarioQuizzer wrote: ↑Wed Jun 20, 2018 6:19 pmIn case this is pertinent:

If you have not, by all means contact them so they don't give your seat away.
Hope to see you there.All Boardies should wear team colors so we can identify and greet each other. (PS I'll be the old guy who will be incorrectly assumed to be trying out for the Seniors Tournament.)
Colors or not, I hope we're able to meet.

I had seen in the past something brief about Philly tryouts, any further word on this? Do you think they combined the Philly group with NYC? If so I'm hosed again. 
Re: Timing of Audition Invite Emails

with the posted travelogue upthread, my guess would be it was combined with either NYC or DC; but in the past we have seen them come to the east coast multiple times in a season, so there may still be hope.fordboy183 wrote: ↑Fri Jun 22, 2018 1:27 pm I had seen in the past something brief about Philly tryouts, any further word on this?

This was the first time I can remember them listing DC, Baltimore, Philly, NYC and Boston for the same test; and since we know they went to NYC twice, and DC once, I'm wondering if they listed all those cities with no intention of actually going to all of them, but combining auditions at each city. This way, they could split up the auditioners in the megalopolis of the northeast into their geographic areas without going to each one.
That said, can anyone on the board that had an audition in NYC or DC in this go-round confirm they chose an audition city OTHER than NYC or DC?

DC was not an option when I signed up, so I chose Philly. I was surprised to be assigned to DC when I got the email.triviawayne wrote: ↑Fri Jun 22, 2018 4:16 pmwith the posted travelogue upthread, my guess would be it was combined with either NYC or DC; but in the past we have seen them come to the east coast multiple times in a season, so there may still be hope.fordboy183 wrote: ↑Fri Jun 22, 2018 1:27 pm I had seen in the past something brief about Philly tryouts, any further word on this?

I auditioned in Atlanta and got the call this week. I am still shocked!
I have just joined jboard so I was hoping somebody could point me to a thread that discusses highest-yield prep strategies.
I tried searching but it seems like I was just pulling one-off comments from random threads.
Thanks in advance!
