Default NHC

After a few years of dabbling in trying qualify, I set my mind on qualifying this year, and I have done it.

This weekend I qualified for the National Handicapping Championship.

I know a few people on DT have qualified and played in the NHC before.

Any help on what to expect, advice, etc is much appreciated.

I am really looking forward to the opportunity to compete with the best handicappers in the world in January.

Congrats! It is a very exciting opportunity. I don't love the changes made for this year. But, it is still a great experience.

I have qualified 8 times so I can probably answer any questions. Feel free to PM me with any questions I can help with.

I'm still dabulling. I always told myself if I make it in I will have the best time of my life and not listen to anything and pick what I want. I will be rooting for you even if I get in.
Have Fun
