Dawn, I believe that's how it works. The number one person in Maryland had only 80 points. That was me. :) That number is usually a bit higher so I imagine those who typically do them are taking a break.
Ivan gave you some great advice. I'd contact the MSP directly. I did that with my first phone shop, a few weeks ago, and I received the shop. In the email, I told them the dates/times I was available.
