| My concern at this point is that they won't get it back up tomorrow and will open it up on Monday. My work computer blocks the site. Does anyone know if it works from an iPhone? |

Location: Iowa | It will be back up. We won't have 20 plus people hitting submit multiple times clogging up the system. Nothing is full yet because of multiple doubled up entries. Think positive!! |

I agree. Everyone has hopefully learned their lesson. Everyone should get entered. Entries open in a few hours. |

Location: Mayerthorpe Alberta | I've been watching this play out and was wondering something. So everyone can qualify but there's a limit as to how many entries are accepted? is this what is happening? Everyone jammed up the system trying to enter? I sure see Renee trying to do right by everyone which i think is admirable. |

If you run at any sanctioned Bonus Race you can run in the Open with $10,000 added. In order to qualifiy for the Bonus Round which now has over $50,000 added you had to win get 1st or 2nd in the avg of a division at a sanctioned series or if it was a bigger individual run like one of Renaes Barrel Bash's you had to win 1st or 2nd in the division. The more entries a barrel race or series has the more places per division get a qualifier number. Clear as mud? LOL |

Ooops I didn't answer all your questions. There's limited stalls and limited entries in each of the sessions. The biggest reason for the rush is Renae is known for her excellent run barrel races and there aren't any barrel races in our neck of the woods that have that kind of added money. For me, I won 3 qualifiers so I'm lucky to get to take 3 horses and its worth the 7 hour drive for me. I think I heard someone say they will allow people to set up pens but I'm not on FB so I don't know if that's accurate or not. |

Location: Riding Crackhead. | She just posted this on the website. ENTRY UPDATE AS OF JAN 26 (PRIOR TO ENTRIES RE-OPENING AT 1 PM) We have processed all duplicate entries and taken them out of the overall numbers and determined we are within a hand-full of stalls being completely sold out. We will not be able to open up the stall sales again, as the computer will most-likely oversell them without being able to shut them off fast enough. We will TAKE REQUESTS for stalls and log them in the order received. I know we will have stalls open up from refund requests AND I am also in the process of obtaining tent stalling. I do not have tent stalls confirmed at this time, but i have received the OK from the LEC to bring in tent stalling (tent stalling will be sold at our cost I’m guessing between $75-85 per stall for the event). Any entries made that request stalls will be added onto those lists. If you decide you cannot enter because a hauling partner cannot get entered or they can't get stalls, etc. I will be more than happy to process your refund between now and Feb 1 with NO ADDITIONAL CHARGES TAKEN OUT. EMAIL [email protected] to request a refund. I am also working on compiling an off-site stalling list that will be posted on the web asap. Please know, we are doing the best we can to accommodate you with the obstacles we are encountering. We realize this process has been very frustrating to many of you, and we apologize for any inconvenience and frustration this has caused you. We hope that we can implement changes in the future to make this process go smoother. Until then, we appreciate your patience. AS OF SUN AM (BEFORE ENTRIES OPEN) SESSIONS THAT ARE FULL INCLUDE At this time open jackpot session that are full include FRIDAY PM, SATURDAY AM *At this time Bonus Race sessions that are full include SUNDAY AM*If ALL sessions fill in the Bonus Race we will add additional entries to this race but not until ALL sessions fill. We will not turn a Bonus Qualifier entry away (that does not guarantee you get the session you want, nor does it guarantee a stall but we will not turn your entry away).i know some of you are wanting to know how full other sessions are we are working on that and will post those # on our facebook page asap |

| Yes they will allow pens. She's looking into tent stalling as well but has said she will allow pens even if they get tent stalls. I'll be saving my money since we have pens.
Renee has said that anyone with a qualifier ID will be allowed to run in the Bonus Race, the Open jackpot entries remain limited. |

Location: Fort Collins, CO | it was a mess! the only thing is--i'm a bit surprised they didn't learn from last year, because the site crashed for the same reason but it wasn't as bad as this year.
The only reason my friends and I got us entered is because when she hit submit and it gave her an error she refreshed instead of going back or starting over. That gave us our confirmation and then our email came through.
I just hope I was early enough to get a dirt stall like always! And i didn't know you couldn't enter the same sessions on different horses so i had to scramble and sign up for different sessions on my young mare--but yet i put in on both for Sun AM open. Hoping it works out!
Crazy entry, but it's always a good time in Lincoln! Great barrel race! |

It worked like a charm this time. The only issue was when I got a little too excited and dropped my credit card under the desk.
Friday PM Bonus Race, Saturday PM Open and Sunday AM Open, bring on Lincoln! |

If you have a solution then you should let the staff know.
As far as entering in the same session I guess I don't understand what you mean because I entered all 3 of my horses in the same sessions. |

Me too..I entered 2 different horses in the same session. Maybe she means same session different arenas. |

Location: Texas! | I never recieved a confirmation email just got charged three times so when I talked to Renea she told me she had me down, still waiting for money to get credited back. I was thinking maybe if they just opened entries for a session at a time they wouldn't get flooded quite so bad but they are doing the best they can with the situation and have been great at answering the phones and emails I've sent! Can not wait for this race!!  |

That could be. Renea did post a note NOT to do that since they won't move anyone around in the draw if you draw up at the same time. |

After taking a couple years off to haul the kiddo this is my first time qualifying. I'm so stinking excited! I actually won 3 qualifications and have only 1 good horse. I'm scrambling with a few older horses to hopefully get them back in shape. Heck its a 5D so even the old man of 17 yrs and 3 years vacation might have a chance. LOL
Now if the weather straightens out so I can get stuff legged up in time. LOL |

| The issue there would be if one of the early sessions is a second choice for someone and it fills up, then their 1st choice fills up....although it is probably one of the better ideas. Even if they just staggers them by 30 minutes.
I'm hoping to be a vender next year and just avoid the problem by running in the Thursday sessions no one wants lol.
I think beefier servers and software is probably the solution. It's my understanding the race has grown in popularity quite quickly.. |

I wanted to run Thurs but with a 7 hour drive there's no way I can make it time. I'd drive down Wednesday but we cant be on grounds before Thurs at 8 a.m.
One gal from my area is upset because she got 3 or 4 qualifier spots and couldn't get entered until today so didn't get the spots she wanted. She suggested letting the Qualifiers enter first then the open enter but not sure what others would think of that. |
