We’re well past our 250th overall contest and are closing in on a milestone number of tickets being dished out. Let’s get down to business.

I am fortunate for our positive exchanges and absolutely honored by the chance to offer our lucky diehards a ticket to this sure to be extraordinary show. When you add the might of Battle Beast as well, this is just a win, win, win sort of night. Now onto the finer points and how to participate.
