This sets in motion a whole bunch of questions, many of which are presently being answered. For example, we will require that all of the Competitors qualify at World Challenge XXII at the Stratosphere.
This event will be choreographed like the half-time entertainment at the Super Bowl. We must wrap up the competition with the last race precisely before the pep-ralley. That’s why the 4:45 finish time.
We will lead off with Lion’s Den members in the age/sex categories who attended World Challenge XXII and finish with a single elimination tournament of the top 16 Relays based on best time. Invitations will be extended strictly on the basis of merit (i.e., rank order). An RSVP will be required. Barring that eventuality, the invitation will move to the next person on the list and so on and so forth. There is no registration fee.
Since lodging is likely to be problematic at this time - due to the 100,000 attendees, fire stations in the Metroplex will be offering bunks to you. There are a myriad of other logistical questions that we’re working on, such as possible special TV coverage, parking, etc.
Clearly, we cannot accommodate everyone that would like to be there. Assuming that our audition is well-received, this may become a regularly occurring feature in the out-years.
In preparation for the event, and to kick off our Engine Company Good - To - Go initiative, we will be locating our tower at the AFD’s Training Academy the first week in November. If you’re interested in being a part of the Event Crew and work on setting up, re-cocking, or pack-up send an expression of interest to the email below.
Write down your questions and send them along to Info@FFCC.TV. I’ll be posting updates here as we know more.
