DABWAHA Is Ready To Go
Ladies and gentleman, it’s DA BWAHA 2010 TIME. You can see all the books who made the slate of 64 at DABWAHA.com, and read about the prizes at the DABWAHA blog.
And now- it’s time to pick your brackets! And read a truly informative and utterly important FAQ.
How do I enter my picks?
PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO THE FOLLOWING WORDS.
To enter your picks, click ENTER YOUR PICKS in the top menu.
Then, at the top right, select “NEW” and enter your name LAST, FIRST. i.e. “Litte, Jane,” or “Sarah, Smart Bitch.”
Enter your email address in the box provided.
Make your picks by clicking on the title you think will win each competition.
Enter the tiebreaker, which is the TOTAL NUMBER OF ENTRIES in the Tournament. We are limited to 999. We know that it says points, but its TOTAL NUMBER OF ENTRIES you think we are going to get.
This is the important part: when you click “SUBMIT PICKS” in the bottom left, your entry will not appear right away.
Let me say that again: Your entry will not appear right away.
But whyyyyyy am I not seeing my entry right away?
Because each entry is stored off line and must be compiled and uploaded into the server in batches. This is done manually. By Jane. So she’ll collect the entries in groups through the selection period and upload them in groups.
What’s the deadline for making my selections?
8 PM, EST, Wednesday, March 17, 2010.
Ready to make your picks? Head on over to check out the 2010 DA BWAHA Tournament Bracket.

Wow, some tough choices in the first round. Bound by Your Touch vs The Madness of Lord Ian McKenzie… yikes!

My book is in the YA section! So proud, I had to whack myself judiciously in my swelling head with a book to make myself stop staring at it and get back to work. *beams*

I agree with CathyKJ…VERY tough first round…usually it’s easier in the first round and get’s tougher as you go along…not so this year! If I won anything it would most likely be the “wooden spoon”…but I don’t care, it’s just fun…and there are some awesome prizes!!!

just submitted my ballot and I am already second guessing myself. Wooden spoon is mine! Yes!!!

I’m obviously stoopid because I put in my name, clicked okay, put in my email address and then there was nothing to pick from-sigh. I always break things…
Ha! got it! no worries :)

And yet again the so-called “GLBT” category contains only “G” entries, with a possible “B.” How about renaming this category to more accurately reflect the nominees?

I feel really stupid right now, but I cannot for the life of me see the “enter your picks” option. What is it next to on the page?
Mar 15, 2010 @ 16:51:53
Sam, I can’t see it either.
Mar 15, 2010 @ 17:09:13
I am glad it is not just me! :( I tried three different browsers too.
Mar 15, 2010 @ 17:13:12
@Sam, I’m on a Mac, are you?
Mar 15, 2010 @ 17:23:33
No. PC
