You play a long slow deadweight red to a corner pocket. As it approaches the pocket, a kamikaze woodlouse crawls out from under the cushion and makes its way across the table, conflicting with the path of the red precisely at the point the red gets there. The red, needless to say, veers off course, and the future of the woodlouse is uncertain. - The Statman
Did anyone else notice that applications would be dealt with "on a random basis after Wednesday 10 January", which means that even though I sent it recorded delivery today almost as soon as I received it, it'll still only get there on the day of the deadline.
That means anyone from outside the uk will not get the form back in time.
I will only get my form tomorrow and therefore will be random selection. They should give an extra bit of time so people from outside the UK get a fair chance
To be honest I doubt many people will get their form back on time anyway - unless you live locally (which I don't as of last Sunday) you don't have much chance, so I doubt they'll get many back in time. Any forms they get after Wednesday will be dealt with in order of day of receipt.
Last year i received the form on a thursday, 4 days after they send it out. I have contacted the box office this morning and nearly asked the same question as you have stated here. This was their answer:
"I can only sincerely apologise we have been waiting for World Snooker to send us the booking forms, we can’t change the dates at all as that’s the agreement we have made with World Snooker. I can only suggest you make an official complaint to World Snooker through there website.
I can assure that as soon as we receive your application it will be processed as soon as possible and therefore you have a high chance of getting tickets."

So is the deadline next Wednesday (17 Jan) or (per an earlier post) Monday (15 Jan)?
Very intelligently, I stuck a 2nd class stamp on my SAE this year, so haven't got my booking form yet. (I couldn't find any first class stamps lying around at the time.) So hopefully I'll be on time to get tickets for the 2011 World Championship.
