We are looking forward to getting all the details also. Depending on where it falls in our schedule, we may be heading out that way from Florida.
We have no shame in chasing the money.

Is this a revival of the Mandalay Bay event or are we talking about the event held in Boulder City over Memorial Day??

I hope it isn't on the 20/21 of May. The GAB would be hard to miss.
That's the date I think I've heard.

It's not just this contest, also got the SAMS club, kingsford cup, and in Indiana the Hoosier cup, plus all the SOTW events. Any body got ideas when these might come out.

Presuming this event ever happens, I had some ideas for those of you discussing the cost: One is to get a "group buy" in on a transportation company with car haulers and the like. They could probably fit six large pits on the back and get you all to and from the competition. With the group buy, it might be cheaper than driving. You could also look at PODS if your pit is small enough. None of these are cheap, but compared to a $1200 fuel bill....

I wonder if they realize that in future years this will put their big festival the same weekend as MIM. May has five Sundays this year, and MIM considers the "third weekend" to be the week before this event, but next year, that won't be so. It's certainly not every one, but there are at least a few big name teams who may continue to do MIM in stead, then again, maybe not.
