The Tulsa Gluedobbers Contest is complete. I must say that we had a great contest and I think everyone who attended was glad to be able to get away for the weekend!
With the season starting so late, I will say it was HHHHHHOOOOOOOTTTTTTTT! On top of that we ran flights till 730pm on Saturday! What a full day!
Bid thanks to the Gluedobbers for stepping up and having their first contest. They did a great job and the food was outstanding.
We tried to get the Social Media Updates to be steady and keep the live scoring coming. I apologize I did not upload the final preliminary scores before I left. BUT, the final scores are up now.
