[Homebrewers] hords of fun is gone

[stevesveil-haze at yahoo.com]

Great ... one thing I didn't like about Hords of Fun was the fact that Alan Hord got 0.5 point of the allowable staff points from the competition for using his software.  For QOB there's typically only 1 or 2 staff points depending on the number of entries.

Hi Steve,
 
I plan on using this software that has online 
registration. It's is one of the software solutions on the bjcp website and was 
recommended by Dave Houseman. It has some nice features:
 
Online registration of beers and 
judges/stewards  Contest registration forms and neck 
labels for contest entrants  Custom emails to brewers to confirm 
arrival of their entries  Custom emails to judges confirming 
their registration  Keeps contest entry and recipe 
information in a secured, web-accessible database  Keeps judge registration information 
in a secured, web-accessible database  Reports of judges available per 
session  Contest flight sheets for both first 
and second rounds  Winner's web page, with hyper-links to 
their recipes  Thank-you letters to your judges, and 
mailing labels for them  Results letters to your entrants, and 
mailing labels for them

A lot of people are using HCCP http://www.folsoms.net/hccp/
The bad news 
is that there's no alternative with on line registration.
Some people are 
doing a "mail to" web form kind of thing.

Hi All, 
I didn't get a chance to tell Glen, but I've already talked to Gordon 
Stong and he has given me info on alternatives. 
Hords of Fun won't be available this year.
Madeline

Does anyone have any info on Alan’s 
site? The whole site appears to have been taken down. We need to move quickly to 
get a new process in place for registration if the site isn’t coming back 
up.
 
It was down Friday and is still 
down. 
 
Thanks,
Glen
