Ohh, I remember him. The sport ladder was fun to do, haha. And there was only three people that did it so everybody got a prize!
I am going to try and make it, I live in Fishers so it is a short drive.
I see that the event goes from 10am - 9pm, is there an optimum time to be there as a spectator? If I can find the time to go I will have my wife and young children with me.
I have only been throwing for 3 months or so and have never been to a contest before, should I know anything in advance about what to expect?
Thanks

This is the schedule, so probably the best time to come and watch would be from around 1 to 5. You would get to see all the divisions and the tournaments for 1A and 5A. The morning is just prelims and the sport ladder, but is still pretty fun to watch.
This was my first contest last year, too. Just expect to have fun and meet some people. If you’re new, I would recommend doing the sport ladder. You just start with easy tricks and progress to harder ones, and whoever gets the farthest wins. It’s a lot of fun and not really too competitive, so it is a lot of fun for beginners.
