I don't know Dave's cut-off for that last batch of grandfathering. If you filled out the form recently, please wait patiently for the next batch to be processed.
I'm not familiar with how he's handling European professors - I'll see if I can get an answer out of him. (And hopefully add it to the form page.) It might not be as quick, as we're working out details for organized play management for Europe (and Asia).
If you filled out the form awhile ago, *and* you were a professor/master professor, we'll need to work out why. I'll look into the process...I'm guessing you might not have been using the e-mail that was publicly available to us.
Players who are interested in becoming first-time professors - two things:
1) You will not need to be a professor to play in age 15+ tournaments. Don't apply if that's all you wanted.
2) We'll have a system up for you to become one in September.
Thanks all for your interest!

i submitted an application when it was first announced, but i didn't get a confirmation. could it be because i had already been given a ID and Password for being a League Leader? if so, then it'd be nice for me to still get an email about me being accepted into the professor program.

How did you fill out the address fields, given their (yet) USA/Canada-only slant?? Specifically, what did you chose for the State/Province field (that's the only drop-down, the rest are free-form text fileds - although the phone number fields might be tricky)?

I'm also in, so that's two of us from Europe. :clap:
I put "SC" for state (little do they know that that secretly stands for Scotland), and missed the leading "0" off of my phone number - they would have to drop that for international dialing anyway.

I too filled out my application the first day the form was up on the website. I sense a disturbing trend here.

I hope they didn't forget me! I signed up like a couple weeks ago! But then as everyone here has said, got to be patient (sigh).

I got an email too, but like Otaku, mine said I wasn't accepted. But there was an email address listed that you could contact if you had any questions. So I emailed and got a response saying that it was most likely the database they are using, it is pretty new and may have been the problem. The email went on to tell me what I should do.
So if you got an email saying that you weren't accepted, you may want to email the address given and see if it was a mistake or not.

I basically filled in as much as poss.The drop down I think I put AL for state and missed one digit off the phone no. All the important details I was able to get on to the form.Of course if the leagues/tourneys dont kick off for months on this side of the pond then my user id and password will be pretty much useless for months anyway!

I think that I am going to wait till the first of next week to see if I get a email one way or another. If not then I will just resubmit my information for the Professor Program.

Hey all,
I can answer some of the questions here, as I'm the one doing the approving (ahh, the power is amazing!).
The reason for the delay, and the main reason some of you who registered early and have seen others approved prior to you is because the only method of verification we have is the old WotC professors list. Add to that, that many, many people aren't too keen on reading directions, and we've received applications for professorship from nearly as many non-professors as we have professors.
This has made the reviewing process very, very slow and has forced me to take some steps to speed up the process that have taken applications out of order.
If you have been denied, and you were a prior professor (you MUST be on the last WotC list) please email me at [email protected], and we'll look into it.
As for non North American residents, you are being treated just like every other professor. I am approving you if you were previously on the list. I do apologize for the fact that the country selections were not complete, but nonetheless, if you've filled in your info, you've been approved.
Our webmaster has been given a very large list of 'to do' items, including getting your 'edit profile' pages up and running. This'll allow you to change your password, user ID, address, phone, email, etc.
By October, we hope to have the professor pages fully operational with all benefits intact and ready to go.
Also, please note that being a league leader is in no way linked to being a professor (on the website). So, your league leader ID is just that, and is separate from your Professor ID.
I hope that helps, and thanks for the patience. I'm just about through the current list.
