Preemptive Deferral for NYCM

I did 9+1 last year to get guaranteed admission for 2025. One of my best friends is getting married the night before (Nov. 1) halfway across the country. I’m registering now and going to defer and reregister next year, but it’s just frustrating to have to pay twice!

I’m considering emailing NYRR and seeing if I can preemptively defer and push my guaranteed entry for 2026. Has anyone successfully done this?
