Just ONE HOUR until we open registration! (8pm UK time)

Our servers are primed and ready!
If you haven't heard back from us yet, regarding your registration, or an email to our reg team, please bear with us. We're working through everything as quickly as we can, and will get back to you soon. Many thanks for your patience!
Additional! If you are contacted by our reg team, please respond ASAP! Keep an eye on your inbox for any messages from us (and junk folder just in case!)
Thank you!
Important update: please do not transfer money to us until your registration has been approved! Such a transfer does not impact your likelihood of securing a room space.
If we are not able to confirm a room space for you, your money will be returned.
The reg process may proceed in a manner that results in some people with a higher number getting approved (and request for payment) before some people with lower numbers. Rest assured we still allocate room spots in a fair manner.
It is a quirk of our process that some people might receive their approval early, but lower numbers will still be getting their approval in due course!
We thank you again for your patience as our reg team work through everything!
As always, if you need to contact the reg team, please email registration@confuzzled.org.uk, but please note the team are very busy at the present time, and it may take a while to respond.
The Reg Team are currently only approving Single rooms. If you're in a Single room and requested early arrival or late departure, we are currently securing the rooms for these dates, so your approval may take longer. Please don't panic!

Other room types, such as Double, Twin, etc. are not yet being approved - the Reg Team are still working through the 2,000+ registrations we received! Please be patient - we'll get to you!
Please check your emails for any contact you might have from the registration team. Our team have sent out emails to some users from whom we need additional information. This is especially important if you did not fill in a roomshare partner during registration. Please check your inbox (and junk mail folder). If you have been contacted, respond as soon as you can. Thank you!
We will shortly be commencing approvals for non-residential registrations. If you haven't had an approval yet, please sit tight - our reg team are still working hard!
Dear Attendee,

We appreciate that currently there is some frustration for those who have registered and as yet not received a room or confirmation. This has not reached the high level of customer service we aim for, and feel like we have let you down on this occasion.

We want to provide the following statement for clarity, and to highlight the unprecedented demand we have seen for registration for ConFuzzled 2020.

See statement here: https://2020.confuzzled.org.uk/2019/11/12/registration-statement/
Our card payment processor is currently down. Please hold for now (you won't be cancelled during this). Alternatively, if you wish to get payment sorted, contact registration@confuzzled.org.uk to change to bank transfer. (applies only to confirmed registrations pending payment).
Payment update: We thank you for your patience on this topic. We plan to put out a full announcement tomorrow. In the meantime, if you had chosen credit/debit card & payment is due, your registration won't be cancelled.
Many of you wanted to know what the actual date is for the new payment deadline. We can confirm this is 6th December (as in midnight, end-of-day 6th December UK time). You can safely IGNORE the deadline shown in your reg dashboard, it's 6th December :)
For help and assistance making a bank transfer, here is some (UK Specific) generic information from the Money Advice Service: https://www.moneyadviceservice.org.uk/en/articles/making-phone-or-online-transfers - you can also get help from your bank. Your bank should also be able to assist if you are making an international transfer.
Additional top tip for when you make a bank transfer, is to give the payment a unique reference, like 'Brok123' - you can choose this yourself in online banking, or ask for it when phoning your bank, or visiting a branch. Then, pass the reference to our reg team. This helps them find your payment in our banking statements over in the ConFuzzled account :)

We would like to formally announce that room spaces for ConFuzzled 2020 are 'sold out'. This means allocations are largely done, and it is extremely unlikely further allocations will occur. Please review what this means here: https://2020.confuzzled.org.uk/2020/01/02/sold-out/
