Yes it is right on the pier, your set-up is right above the water AWESOME!

The wind was fierce last year when judging. As in, flying turn-in boxes (after being partially emptied).

Let's hope it's a bit calmer this year.

Last year it was in October. One of the main reasons for moving the contest earlier is it's less likely to be like that. Other than the high wind, I really liked the venue - it's unique. I have been told that the judges tent will not be in the same location this year.

For teams that are thinking about it - it's an auto qualifier. This contest got me to The Jack, so I am cooking this one for sure.

I saw your schedule on the website. I can't imagine doing that many contests. I am sure it got more insane too.

The late September date still puts it smack into hurricane season. Thats one of those hit or miss times of year. It can be a beautiful fall day or raining sideways, luck of the draw.....

It's going to need more teams to be a qualifier

Nope, only that 2 unnamed teams backed out.
