The NHC online registration that was supposed to open Tuesday, February 28, will be available at 10 a.m. Mountain Time on Friday March 2, 2012 instead. I apologize for the delay, and I appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding.
The online registration will be available from 10 a.m. MT, March 2 through 6 p.m. MT March 28, 2012. There is an additional competition added this year, so there should be room for everyone to enter. Each of the 10 U.S. competitions has a maximum limit of 750 entries. Once the entry limit has been reached in a competition, the competition will be closed to any further entries. See the top story on the AHA home page for tips to entering online, and look in the 2012 NHC Rules & Regulations for information about the competition.
Anyone want to guess the over/under on when all the regions will fill up. 7500 entries plus the Canadian competition…does anyone doubt it will fill up after seeing the response for the conference registration!
Good luck to all who enter ( and especially those judges that taste my entries ;D )
my guess is that all 10 regions in the US fill up in 2 days with most regions filling up today.
the canadian competition will probably add aboot 300 entries.
on a different note…why is it that in america, its a “national” competition when other countries are invited to participate BUT we have “world” champions when other countries are not invited?
I went with Indianapolis; it was the only one relatively close by that I remember from the past few years. Now I just have to get UPS to not break my entries on the trip out there. :-\
