update. not the one you guys wanted, but an update.
Just a quick update since I know that most of you are expecting your assignments soonish. We're mostly just waiting for AO3 to finish auto-matching, which is taking very, very long.
We have heard back from everyone with additional offers, but unfortunately, AO3 seemed to be experiencing some downtime the last couple of days. I was up most of last night waiting for it to come back up so I could modify the sign-ups and start the matching before going to bed. I set the system to generate matches right around 5am, and was really hoping that it would be done by the time I got back home, if not by the time I got up. I am not sure why it's taking so long.
Once all the possible matches have been generated, the mods will still have to play around with the results a bit to make sure that the maxium number of people have matches, assign recipients to those without one, and determine what needs to be sent out for pinches, etc.
Thank you for all of your patience, and just keep your fingers crossed that the matching finishes soon.
