Solo competition is slated to start between 2:00 - 2:30 (still working out some details). It should end around 6:00 pm.

There is only one pad for Saturday WDC competition. It will also be judged by JG 4.

After it has concluded you all will go out and celebrate and SNI will be preoccupied by a Fitness Awards Ceremony. But we will determine a good time to post the names of the Top 10.

The medal round will be held on Sunday starting sometime between 12:00 and 1:30 pm (again, some details to finalize in the coming days). I can tell you that as of now the medal round will be judged by an entirely different group of judges.

The individuals listed above who are not classically qualified have been given that distinction out of respect for the great distance they are traveling. Please save your objections for the next quarterly meeting.

COMPETITION SCHEDULE:

Duals are currently scheduled to start on Saturday, May 6th at 11:20 am and should conclude at 12:45 pm. Tentatively, they will be judged by Judging Group #4 which is my primary Exhibition JG. After Duals, they will break for lunch as will you all.

We will be choosing for competition slots in Dual Exhibition first. Starting at 8pm eastern. Only ONE member of the Dual team should comment with their choice. The first person IN my comment thread that chooses something gets that spot.
