Good to know

Does it cost anything?

No. Support Slots is free for everyone.

Who sees my email?

Only the guide. Your profile and a friendly note go across to the other act. They see your email only if they reply.

What happens after I ask?

The note goes through the guide. They usually answer within a few days. A "not this time" is a normal answer.

Who checks what goes on the board?

The guide does. Open slots and acts looking for one are checked before they appear here.
