I just got off the phone with Jimmy.
We won 2 GC's this year.
FIRST GC's ever.
After both GC's, Jimmy (head cook) got the required packet of info from the contest reps and the organizers, filled out all 7 or so pages and sent it in via email.
Both times, he got back a return email from them saying that they'd received everything.
Recently, we saw a AR site map come up here and I noticed that we weren't listed on the map and asked Jimmy about it. We just figured that they were waiting to assign spots to returning teams or something before they gave us a spot.
So, this morning, Jimmy sends Kim an email and asks about why we've never received info about our spot or the invitational. She tells us that they never received our application.
HUH?
We're told that there's a separate application that we never sent in.
Deadline's past.
Tough chit.
We're on the waiting list.
I get that there's a process and apparently, we missed something.
However, as a first time GC and qualifier for the Invitational, it sure wasn't very clear. I don't get why they give you a 7 page packet of stuff AT the contest right after awards that DOES NOT INCLUDE the APPLICATION. Why take this 2nd step?
Jimmy even asked her to confirm that she received our "quailfying contest info" and she did confirm that. He specified that we were a first time qualifier. No mention of "Hey, don't forget" or any kind of "Remember you still need to submit your application".
I'm not slamming the Royal.
I get that there are a lot of teams who get this right the first time around and that technically....we dropped the ball, but DAYUM....you'd think it would be a bit more clear.
We've been amped up about attending the AR since we won back in May.
We may never have the chance again.
PISSED OFF!
Farkin sucks.
Bullchit.
Rant off.
