The entry confirmations for the Palmyra, VA trials will be sent by noon on Monday, September 19. Since the draw was delayed due to the server issues until after noon on 9/16, we did not meet the deadline in the premium of 5pm on the 16th.

09/14/2022

9:30 pm update - Hallelujah! The upcoming events page has been recreated and is functioning as expected. You can now submit your entries for Palmyra, VA.

The entry window will remain open until Noon (eastern time) Friday, September 16.

6pm Tuesday update. The site remains down but more parts are functional. The upcoming events page is the one that has the entry links and it is still down. They have also locked our ability to make changes or move entry links to the home page. We will update here once it is operational fully and you can enter the trial.

09/13/2022

Noon update: The website is still down. While it appears that some functional capability has been restored, we have been advised that this might take another 24 hours to resolve. Once we know the site is restored, we will post additional information about the entry window and timeline. Stay tuned!

09/13/2022

7am update - We continue to be offline with the majority of our website due to an issue with the host server. I will update here once functionality is restored. I know that you can see more of the site this morning as things slowly come back, but we do not have a timetable as yet for full restoration.

As such, NACSW will extend the entry period. I cannot say by how much or when it will end at this point. Sadly my crystal ball is broken and I cannot predict when the site will be restored.

If you entered yesterday and got through on the website, we have your entry and you do not need to enter again. Most of these entries came before 12:15p.m. but there are others that came in later.

Updates will be posted here, and NACSW will also send out an update once we know the site is operational.

Don’t panic…go play with your dog instead. 😉 I will update when the site is back up and running.
