I’d love to hear from show secretaries and organizers about their experience with EqEntries or other online entry systems. Do you find them more or less difficult to work with? Positive/negative feedback?
Our regional championships is still requiring paper entries as though it’s 1996. As a competitor I find it really inconvenient. I’m not great with paperwork to begin with and I hate having an entry and check floating out there in the mail when I can file my entry online and pay a small fee to ensure it gets there and receive confirmation that the submission was successful. I think every other show in our region offers online entries and based on my conversations, our competitors are strongly in favor of having that option so it’s odd/irritating that the most important event does not. Apparently the board declined to even consider the option of offering online entries this year despite the issue being raised. I’d love to know if this is backed up by actual challenges in dealing with online entries or if it’s just a discomfort with technology on the part of our board.
