This has been a huge learning experience for a lot of us.

We have an amazing team of volunteers working on this behind the scenens.

There was a discrepancy found in the 11th hour yesterday. We chose to delay verse posting something inadequate.

Week 2 should be up today.

Thank you to the guys that jumped on this issue right away.

Thank you for your Patience.

And Yes, we will be taking a break after this month.

To answer some questions from the thread; To get the TAW you had to complete all 4 tricks. If you did not, you were given a point in FreeForm for posting the video.

Hey all, this is what thew me off regarding the TAW. I assumed 4 points meant 1 point per trick element.

The above scoring system is on week 2 as well

The points you are able to earn for the week are listed below each category.

That statement indicated how the points are accumulated throughout the event.

Week 1; BL =2, TAW =1, FF =1  
Week 2; BL =2, TAW =1, FF =1  
Week 3; BL =2, TAW =1, FF =1  
Week 4; BL =2, TAW =1, FF =1

Total for the Month; BL =8, TAW =4, FF =4

At the end of the event all entries will be entered into the categorys pool for the drawings

Hope this helps clarify. Great Question.
