I don't know. I just read that it was this winter and we actually had a chance of bypassing G4. I read the minimum.

No they have not said the filming date. They never do.. it's usually through other competitors or an enterprising intern at M9 (shame she's gone.. oh well).. We know the show is set for "New Year" from Nagano's people but no date either way. Believe it or not it's still too early to confirm for sure when they are taping. The "Guess" is Mid December but we don't know for sure. Trust me if I find out anything or if ANYONE finds anything they will post it and a new thread will be placed so others can see it as well.
As for notification. You won't get one if you are NOT chosen. They just don't do that. If you ARE chosen it depends when they do it. If you are first choice you get it pretty early. If you are a replacement you can get notice almost a week in advance (Heck Nagano got notice 4 days before Sasuke 6....). Even Michael Milner who was a replacement got notice with just under a week to go.
Having said all that. Given that G4 is involved I can only assume that notice will be given somewhat earlier to allow the US people time to make overseas arrangements on their own. I'd say at the most 2 weeks before the event.. which STILL would be almost a month away. We don't know the exact date of the deadline (they usually put something on their websites to say they are taking no more applications).

Yeah I suspect it will be around Christmas if they are planning on having a New Year's Show.

(Heck Nagano got notice 4 days before Sasuke 6....) Sorry for replying to just one part of the message which wasn't even the main focus. But do you mean Sasuke 7? Nagano didn't compete in 6.

Actually he was meant to compete in 6 but couldn't make it due to the short notice.

He sent the video as a joke thinking he wasn't going to get picked.. then lo and behold 4 days before taping he got a call to see if he was up for a replacement entry. Naturally he wasn't anywhere near land let alone have time to compete so he had to decline. He was picked for Sasuke 7 and even though it took him 24 hours to drive there .. they still cut the poor guy from the broadcast.. LOL

LOL Well look where he is now---I guess you say that this was a minor setback at the most.

If it airs at New Year's, wouldn't it be more like a week before Christmas? Unless they cut down the preparation time for the broadcast.

If they continue the streak of taping on Monday's then it could be December 21's which is still the week of Christmas. New Year's Day falls on a Friday so conceivably they have that weekend to show Sasuke. Obviously just a thought. Nothing is confirmed yet.

You buy it when you mail your package. I opted not to buy it because I don't care.

They're supposed to offer it to you. It's one of those things that gives them more money.
I'm surprised my post office lady remembered to offer me half the features (although she didn't offer insurance or anything). She was... slow.
