Yes, the date and time you submit your application matters. If you are not reselecting your same booking, you will choose a room on either February 11 for Phase Displaced, February 12 for Phase Four, or February 13 for Phase Five.

The application will close on February 8 and will not reopen until February 14 for Phase Six.
