How quickly does NHC registration fill up?

[malweth]

I want to send a couple beers in, but work has IE7. It's locked, can't upgrade, can't use a different browser!

Just how quickly does registration fill up??

Last year, some spots filled up within the day, some were still open for a few days I believe. They added one additional site (750 entries), plus got rid of the canada site and put that in the US too, and put a cap (although still pretty high) on entries - so that should help (or offset additional interest) at least a little. I don't know if any sites will fill up "instantly" - but I would think they will be full within a day or two would be my guess.

Thanks! Sounds like I might be OK for the ~2 hours...
I'm not sending a ton in (travel screwed up my fall/winter brew sched) but I want my two beers in!!

You definitely want to get them in before the day is out. They fill up fast.

I think the closest site to me filled up within a few hours last year, and there aren't any "local" changes that should make that any better. If anything, competition entry registrations have increased substantially over the last year around here.

Am I being stupid? I don't see the online registration link on the NHC website and it is past 1 pm Mountain at the moment.

I just posted a thread. I'm with you! Wanna get an entry in. I'll update if I find the link.

Cheers,

Are you really surprised with how they've screwed up registration for the conference the past couple of years?

Of course, unless you know someone who knows someone with the secondary link to a website that doesn't crash

Nope. I had the same problem so I came here to see if anyone else had the same issue.

Glad to see they got their computer issues sorted out after the conference registration....hahaha, yeah right.

I was able to register at Atlanta, but now getting 503 errors when trying to add entries...

I know I shouldn't but I do expect some competence especially as this t-h-e competition to enter for the year.

Could you hit me with that link pretty please? I know the servers are slammed, but I can't even find the link for Atlanta.

 

[TNGabe]

Should just say add entry when you sign in.

 

[PistolsAtDawn]

Never mind, CastleHollow. I found the link. Server is still slammed though.
