[> Subject: Refresh and try again? It says capped until feisweb opens each level. Prelim said capped for me until 7:32 but then I got in with no issues

[> Subject: Same here - comp never opened up for open - closed by event cap from 8:55pm until now (8:15pm). Two browsers, multiple refreshes. It would be helpful to get notice about a waitlist - but nothing posted on Facebook about that either.

[> Subject: First time I have EVER had an issue with feisweb. sure it's slow - but this time it was completely wonky. Crashed, then kept sending me back to the entry page & I started promptly on time! Not blaming HQ - they have no dancers in my dd's group - the prob is feisweb

[> [> Subject: Poor taste? Seriously? Don't we normally spend all of Mothers Day weekend at a feis in Hyannis? And we've had almost no opportunities to feis in MA in over a year. So no, I don't think it was in poor taste for one of the few groups willing to actually go to the trouble to put on a feis in MA this summer to open registration on Mothers Day night.

[> [> Subject: I am really wondering if the caps were just skewed and maybe the numbers filled before or right when open started...could mean they will have to re-do? Or maybe it really did fill that quickly! :)

[> Subject: I think its VERY fair to allow dancers from the host school to pre-register. Many of those parents are going to volunteer at the feis so why would they bother helping if their kids aren't even registered for the feis?? If your school put the time and effort into organizing a feis and your dancer couldn't go, you'd be upset about that too.

[> [> Subject: I posted above - and I agree 100%. My only comment is that I wondered if there was an issue - only cause I haven't exp'd Feisweb and this type of problem before.

[> [> Subject: If you have enough students that opening early to them is going to practically fill the feis, then you should be holding a class feis not a competition. If you want to hold a CLRG competition, there should be a legitimate ability for atleast 1/2 of the competitors to be from other schools.
Author: Another perspective. [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 08:39:44 05/12/21 Wed I will say that I don't know how many spots were taken by the hosting school, I am just going by the comments that certain sections were filled before it opened by competitors from the host.

[> Subject: I totally agree its fair as well and was not able to get in! But wondering if they would reconsider splitting the 17 and older group to make more room?

[> [> [> Subject: and this is why we don't feis in NE any longer. Other regions provide comps for 20+. Tired of having the largest comp with 5 or 6 age groups combined. Start them as separate groups and combine if less than 5.

[> Subject: I did not realize it was 17 & Over
Author: glad we did not get in that is too large of a age range. [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 09:50:39 05/10/21 Mon Seems odd to have 17 and over as the U17 and U18 have good size numbers as is the 18 and over in New England. Maybe one way to cut cost and time? Guess it all worked out as it should for my dd, not interested in competing with dancers outside of age group. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Feisweb is saying it's still open then when you register there's no payment...just weird! the 12th is still open for prelim. Shocked being Father's Day wknd this one would already be full
