It’s much smoother than last year. Within an hour of registration opening there were tons of complaint posts in the forums so I’d like to give a big thumbs up to the staff and process so far.
I think getting the actual number of entrants/entry count is awesome. Data is king and the fact that they ran the numbers a bunch of ways is truly awesome. Props to Janis and the aha staff making this happen.
Agreed! It must be chaotic.
I passed the lottery, three entries. All edited, printed and paid. Signed up to help. Actually looking forward to that more than anything!
What a cool hobby and awesome bunch of new friends! Thanks to everyone who has held my hand along the way.
This year was a breeze compared to last. The GC and AHA staff have my compliments.
I’d be curious when all was said and done how many guaranteed entries there were for the people who judged or volunteered last year and then see how this number changes from year to year.
Glad I got in but I had a great line if I didn’t:
“My email for the NHC Comp didn’t show up…just like the Broncos during the Superbowl ;D”
Now I hope my entries don’t “mysteriously” disappear :o
Any news on whether or not all the sites have been drawn yet? Still no email 
I didn’t get an email. Just logged in and saw my entries needed edited and paid.
This may have been covered already but if we log in and set one of our entries to be a pale ale for example but in a couple weeks decide the kolsch is better, is that something we can change at that time or are we set in stone once we pay for our entries on which category we must enter?
You can change your entry categories up until the submission deadline - March 17 I think. Just make sure you print new bottle labels if you change.
Yes…I did this yesterday after I paid and realized I entered the wrong beer I’m sending in.

I think the last emails are supposed to go out today.
Sweet, I was torn between 2 but I will wait until they’re both done and carved to decide.
Congrats Jim, when did you get the word?
Thanks, Jim. I logged on and it was waiting response, so I edited my submission. I tried to pay, but there was an error (tried Chrome, Firefox, and IE). So hopefully that gets ironed out. I didn’t get my first choice, but at least I got into Saint Paul.
I was editing my info and one of the judging sessions for Philly is listed at 2am on Saturday! That’s hardcore!
In your forum messages?
No. Go to the competition page and log on there.

Not using Discover Card are you?
No… It won’t even load the payment page without an error. I click “continue to payment form” and get this…
HTTP Error 404. The requested resource is not found.
Do Discover Cards still exist?!?
Only in children’s books.
I found it with IE. Logged in and edited my entries on Chrome. Paid by logging in with my android. That was the only combo that would work for me. Only email I got was payment confirmation. (Yes, I checked my junk box)
