Congrats everyone!!

Congrats to all!

Congrats to everyone who was selected. At a quick glance, the Brethren appear to be well represented :thumb:

Congrats to everyone who got the draw!!!! I see some of our fellow brothers and sisters in smoke up there! I want to personally say a big "woo hoo!" to our local friends Tenacious Q on their draw!!!!! (fnbish)

Congratulations and Good Luck!!!

YES!!!! We are in, representing New Mexico!

Congrats everyone!!! and Good Luck!!

Congratulations!

:sad: we didn't, but congrats to everyone who did!!! Next year!!!

Congrats brethren that got picked!

Congratulations to all our friends drawn! There's nothing more special than an October weekend in the Hollow!

Congratulations to all who got their bung pulled today!!

Congrats to everyone that got in!

Condolences for Stubborn Bull that didn't find out until after the draw that the contest organizer for their GC in MA failed to submit a proclamation, turning their 50/50 shot into an auto for someone else. I really never understood the whole proclamation thing. Other than giving you a chance to lose out on The Jack because someone else didn't do the paperwork, what purpose does it serve?

And congrats to all the MABA teams- the mid atlantic is very well represented!

For those that have never been to the Jack, today is a good day to start looking for a hotel

In Texas it reduces the number of qualifiers, quite a bit. The best estimate I've heard is that there are approximately 75 qualifiers each year. Very few of those have a proclamation, just 50 teams. More contests here are starting to take the time to get the paper, which in turn will increase the number of qualifiers. If you are not from Texas (home state) or in the Texas draw it makes no difference to you, unless you are in the Wildcard draw.

The Royal no longer uses proclamations, so I wouldn't be surprised if The Jack followed suit.

Rhana and I are thrilled to be heading back to the Jack! Congrats to our fellow PNWBA teams...Movin' The Chains (Oregon), Ice Harbor Brewing (from Washington but won the Idaho auto), Prairie Smoke & Spice (Canada), House of Q (Canada), and all our Brethren Brothers and Sisters who got the invitation...let the good times roll!

The draw was good to Texas teams that didn't earn the auto. I'm packing the barn boots, but hope we don't need them. There are a lot of friends on that list that I'm looking forward to seeing, and some that aren't on there that I'll miss.
