NHC entry registration - how fast does it fill up?

(1/3) > >>

redzim:
this may have been asked/answered elsewhere but I can't find it....   how fast do the slots fill up when the bell rings at 3pm EST next Tuesday?  do i have a day, or 6 hours, or only 1 hour???

FYI, I live in NY so would have to register in the NYC area?  or can I ship to say, Ohio or Atlanta if NYC fills up?

you can pick any 1 region to send your entries.

considering how things have been going, of the three choices you give, I'd say 6 hours to fill up some locations and 1 day to fill up most. 
I believe last year after 8 hours it was over 2/3 full at 5500 entries and at least one region was completely full with others nearly there. 
Assuming you want the local region I'd plan to be online in that first several hours...

theDarkSide:
Since NHC is "local" to NY, I'd expect that region to fill up fast.  The 15 entry limit may slow things a bit, but I'd be surprised if a few regions weren't filled by the end of the day Tuesday.

hopfenundmalz:
It will happen fast. Last year was around 2 days or a little less to fill the US regions IIRC, someone with a better memory can correct me. If the conference is any indication, it will fill up faster this year. The addition of another first round site and the entry cap/brewer will help some, but the hobby is growing so fast don't be late to the keyboard.

You can enter any first round site. You have to send all of you entries to that site.

Hi Red,

Typically the competition closest to where the Homebrewers Conference (Philadelphia) takes place fills up first, so that will be the New York competition.  After that fills up (and I expect it will only take a few hours for that to happen), the next closest competitions will begin to fill up; that will be the Zanesville, OH and Atlanta, GA competitions.  Plan accordingly when you register.  You'll be able to see how many entries have been logged against the competition on the main landing page, as well as the landing page for the individual competitions.

Good luck in the competition!

Cheers,
Janis
