Location: relocated to Texas | I think most everyone knows Renea, so they know she is doing everything possible to fix the website. My friend Marc spent most of the day trying to get through too. I sure wish I lived closer, I would love to go. Would be a 16 hr. drive for me. :( |

| My daughters entry went right through about 12:10, mine took until about 12:30. I wanted to enter my other daughter but we'll see now if we can get in the sessions we need. Either way I was happy to get entered. |

Location: Riding Crackhead. | Cross D - 2014-01-25 4:50 PM When I was about to click on the link I lost the whole page!! Was frantic for awhile but was able to get back on, had everything done and submitted it, error page!! Lol My name was on the list so I made it and credit card was charged so all is good here. I do feel sorry for Renea as she must be stressing big time!
That's what happened with my friend and her daughter. We were all 3 sitting around my kitchen table on laptops, I got my link up right away, entered and had everything completed with a email confirmation and my friends filled theirs out, hit submit and.....error. Their names are on the list and credit card charged. We're going to Lincoln!!!!! |

How do you know if you got into the session you requested? I entered all 3 of my horses Open Fri a.m. and p.m. and the bonus I put one down in the a.m. Sat and 2 in the p.m. Sat. I'm not on FB so I never know what's going down. LOL |

I agree!
We are running 5 horses in the Friday night open, then he's got one in the morning Bonus & one in the evening bonus, I've got some in the morning open & 2 in the Saturday night bonus, then he's got both horses in the Sunday morning open & I'm in the Sunday bonus. We are gonna be busy!!
CYA - I just assume we got those sessions because I got through so quickly and a couple of those sessions are overfilled. I wish I could be nice and volunteer to move from Friday night's open to help the overfill problem but there's no other way to do all of my runs. |

Oh OK thank you. I'm just kinda assuming the same myself then. I had my entry go through right shortly after it opened and got my confirmation email at 1:00. There's no way I can move any horses around either. I won't get there in time Thurs to run and prefer not to run Sunday just for the sake its a long haul home. |

if you were at any race that was a bonus race qualifier, you are eligible for the open race. They don't list anyone who participated, just winning qualifiers, but if you look and see if the race you were at, you're good to go for the open. |

Location: Iowa | I"m one of the ones who got on but it sent the error message when I submitted it. I was not on the list of entries received. I like what Renea said that if you have a gripe then also post a solution. I'm put out by it but I have no solution to make it fair. Just roll with the punches and try again tomorrow. |

I don't have the foggiest what a better solution would be unless we all did the mail in entries or else had different letters of the alphabet enter at a different time. Its going to be hard though with limited stalls. My buddy Tera didn't get in today but her cousin/travel partner got in with his 2 entries. We're hoping she has better luck tomorrow.
We'll most definately start a thread closer to the event. |

| I wasn't able to get in today. I tried for over 30 minutes, walked away for a bit and then the they took it down before I got back. I'm frustrated since I'm traveling with other folks and hoping the sessions i end up in won't screw up our travel plans or force me the extra gas $ to haul myself. I hope I can get a stall, but as long as we are allowed to bring pens again if we don't one I'll be okay with that.
I don't know what the solution is, but surely there are options out there that can handle 3000 people if 50,000+ seat arenas can sell out of concert tickets in 15 minutes or less. I feel bad for Renee, it's a sucky situation all around for everyone who didn't get entered up today.

I agree about there not being an easy solution to make things fair for everything. It stinks for the people who need to be entered together for travel plans. My mom's only suggestion was to change the form so people could enter up to 3 people at one time rather than having to submit the 1st entry, then refresh the entry page to enter the next person. I was lucky to get Matt and I both entered without major trouble, but it sure would have been nice to be able to enter us both at once instead of stressing over getting the second set of entries submitted. |

| Me and another girl were going to haul up together. I was able to get entered and she wasn't and now the slots are full..so I will be going alone. Really stinks when you work so hard to qualify and then can't enter. I feel sorry for Renea though as there was nothing she could do. |

The slots aren't full yet--entries are re-opening tomorrow at I think 1pm. They needed a chance to regroup and pull out the duplicates. |

This. I`m not saying names but some people are throwing suckers. With Lord knows how many people hitting submit numerous times, some did it 25 times! that took a lot of slots and stalls. I cant imagine the mess that is to call each person. A little patience from all would have saved a lot of confussion. |
