The participation was astounding. In all we had close to 70 competitors and 100 attendees. Judging at this level of play requires experience, concentration and a properly functioning clicker. Also judging and helping out were McBride, Jason G, Bobbi, Jon, Sharon, James, Jen, Alex and lots of others. Their volunteer spitit added to the overall good vibe and helped things run smoothly.

People like Jason Lee, Steve Brown, James Lac, The Longorias, Mike Millan and Kalani Bergdorf are operating at levels of creativity and expertise that are hard to comprehend, even if you watch them. I have no idea how the judges are able to score someone like Jason Lee, whose movements are so unique, quick and precise, that his routine elicits stunned silence from the audience. The Gonzo division was added to allow groups, or people with expertise in other skill equipment, to show off.
