Registered within 6 minutes of it going live. Confirmation screen said I was 103 in the queue. Got a "player created" email, but no further confirmation from PAPA. What gives?

I'm in the same boat as you. Said I was 145 in queue and my confirmation email of profile created is at 12:06 and others are receiving their emails with higher numbers. Maybe it's because this is the first pinburgh I've registered for and it takes longer.

Maybe it is a paypal vs CC thing??

Could be. I was just planning on setting aside some time and booking my hotel etc, but am not planning on going for the whole time if I don't make it in the tourney. 
I'm sure they're overloaded with all the registrations and the emails will come out shortly.
I've got a friend who may be on the bubble. Is there anyone who is confirmed in who registered AFTER 1:25pm eastern? What is the latest time a confirmed player sent in the registration?
Did everyone's confirmation page say how many people were in the queue? Mine did, but my friend's confirmation page (12:24) didn't say anything about a queue.
Didn't make it - was busy at work and it was too late at 1:30 eastern (12:30 central).
On the wait list 
I'm his friend and I'm holding my breath. I registered at 1:20ish, and got my auto e-mail from papa at 1:50 eastern. Fingers crossed, and I filled out the CC form on papa.org

You get an email about it?
Quoted from DnDPins:I got my registration email around 12:20 but still did not get my player number. I gave my CC info. Should I be concerned? How can I confirm?
I completed mine at 12:06, they must be still working thru them. It shouldn't be long now.
Quoted from adamprice271:I registered right around 12:25 and sent in payment...Hope I make the cut, as this will be a great experience. Glad my friend reminded me about it. Flight and hotel booked, so I better make it.
You registered at 1:25. Eastern time.
I registered just after twelve and got my confirmation as player #161. It was so awesome last year looking forward to going again.
Quoted from ChadNC:I registered at 12:15. I was 225 in queue and player 314
That confuses me now. I was hoping I was in. Was 326 in queue. Registered at 12:38 EST. I used my credit card. Fingers crossed now.
Quoted from RC_like_the_cola:That confuses me now.
It's almost like ~80 spots were held or something.
Quoted from stevevt:If it runs like other PAPA events, the player numbering starts at 100, so #250 would actually be the 150th registrant. This numbering thing does not apply to the queue numbering discussion.
Quoted from Deez:It's almost like ~80 spots were held or something.
Player numbers are 3 digits. So the first registrant in the queue was given player #101.
Quoted from Deez:It's almost like ~80 spots were held or something.
The queue was probablly rolling. They might have had 200 in the queue and then pulled them out to charge and then 10 min later there would be 20 in the queue. The number in the queue probably made no difference if they were charging as they went.
Or else 100 people signed up between 12:15 -12:38 which is completely possible.
I paid at 1:00 their time I believe. No confirmation yet. Just the first email saying I paid. It was PayPal.

Ahhh this makes sense.
Yes Gerry. In fact they encourage it! Just can't play the tourney pins which leaves you with only a couple hundred. 
I'm officially player #434. Got a credit card scare. This transaction threw a red flag to Citicard and they declined my transaction. Kevin emailed me and I immediately Paypal'd the money to him. All this took place like 5 1/2 hours after I registered. Scared me, but I'm in. Unfortunately my buddy who was going to drive all of us the 12 1/2 hour trip did not get in! 
Cue the music.....I'm leavin', on a jet plane...... 
Quoted from Gerry:I missed the cut, and really wanted to go too..
Can you still go to the event to play the collection there not being in the tourney ?
I think they have said the practice games are very limited (compared to PAPA where there are lots of practice games)?
I am not sure but I get the impression that pinburgh uses a good chunk of the games for competition?

If limited is around another 150 games, I found the practice room to be pretty sufficient.
