Thanks for the explanation.  As mentioned, I was just curious how results were purportedly posted on the site, and then changed.  I will take my medicine… (And drink the rest of the brews I re-brewed last weekend).  It seemed very odd that details down to the club level were posted somewhere, and then found to be in error. I am not throwing stones.  Only expressing my disappointment.  Thank you for the explanation and even moreso for spending your free time helping me and others with our hobby. ---

I just inputted all of the entry counts into a spreadsheet of those sites that have their results posted for 2014. Based on the 4 sites that have posted already only 1 site was close to the ideal 750 entry count. Lots of info can be derive like averages, deviations, max, min counts. My info is coming from the Results page for each site found at [http://www.homebrewersassociation.org/competitions/national-homebrew-competition/winners/](http://www.homebrewersassociation.org/competitions/national-homebrew-competition/winners/) Here is my spreadsheet; [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1AJplFF61UGsXaSZWQpqlOI1ZGVnf\_LXk\_5RMR2vfpmk/edit?usp=sharing](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1AJplFF61UGsXaSZWQpqlOI1ZGVnf_LXk_5RMR2vfpmk/edit?usp=sharing) I’ll be updating as the results get posted. ---

did some stats yesterday.  if the other 8 had as many empty spots as the first 4, we’d have a SMALLER competition than last year (and the year before).  would be crazy to add 1500 spots over two years but not have any growth in the end. …but I expect the others will be more full, and we’ll have modest growth. on pace for 780 IPAs.  biggest category ever appears to be 630 Stouts in 2012/Seattle. on pace for near record low numbers of meads.  would expect more from some of the upcoming regions. _random thought_ - with so little interest could we maybe add some incentive to enter these?  Like instead of “4 entry limit” say “3 beers/3 meads or ciders and 4 total entries is the limit” - just a thought. In the 4 regions I found 8 people who had advanced 3 entries.  One of them with just mead. Re: Ninkasi, last year dbarber advanced 4, and 2nd and 3rd/4th place advanced 3, and 8/3 respectively.  So there’s still hope for multiple medal winners I guess. ---

Woo Hoo! it’s official, I got two out of four through to finals. my 16E (1st) entry and my marzen(3rd… but with a 41.5) are headed to grand rapids without me. Take good care of them Mr. UPS guy. ---

I wonder what it would take to get the AHA to put the names of the beers in the winners’ lists.  Homebrewers are pretty creative and clever with names and I for one would enjoy seeing this. ---

Hi Jeffy, Don’t hold your breath for this.  That creativity has it’s unprintable side to it, so we specifically don’t include the brew names. Cheers, Janis ---

I’m pretty excited. This is my first year to submit anything to the NHC. I submitted one entry, a double IPA, to Nashville and took a 3rd! It appears I couldn’t have picked a more competitive field to start. I haven’t gotten my scoresheets, yet but I assume that I advance to the 2nd Round. Is that a safe assumption? Now to re-brew! ---
