Well, for a guaranteed slot through team in training, you have to commit to fundraising (about $2500) - and they provide supported rides and a training schedule. In my opinion, having this sort of support, especially for an epic ride, really helps. TNT chapters that do death ride are Bay Area, SOuth Bay/Silicon Valley and (next year, I hope, 'cause I'll be head coach) Napa/Sonoma/Marin.

To get a slot the normal way, you enter the lottery. Chances are probably 50/50, but if you don't get a slot, you still have a pretty good shot at showing up the day before. (Of course, it's hard to train diligently knowing you may or may not get a slot.)

Also, if you know a sponsor or have any sort of connection that way you can get in.
