so I'm assuming with the delay that the walk-ons didn't get a chance to run the course?

6 walkons ran,.I was the.7th. 8( That sucks, was wondering why I didn't see you out there, wasn't sure if I didn't realize you were running because of how it was mostly difficult to find out who was on the course at the time or if I somehow missed you or what...

Tired as hell right now & going to work again for the 2nd day in a row(worked 5-2pm) yesterday then went to check-ins @ 4pm, then was @ the course till 6am today. Will definitely full update tomorrow morning when I wake up @ 10ish am or so. Also, don't know how to make spoiler tags, so someone give me a heads up on that please. 8)

Also, looking forward to the full update!

According to the comrades page, there were 14 walk-ons left before they decided to call it, not to mention one of the walk-ons actually qualified for Finals last year. How does one qualify for finals the previous year yet have to walk-on, I'll never know. Also, "Semi's ended at 1:11AM, although finals were slated to start at 4AM, according to ticket holders emails." (Direct quote)
I expected this kind of mess, but still, I would hope they improved in some fashion aside from new obstacles.

(Direct quote) I expected this kind of mess, but still, I would hope they improved in some fashion aside from new obstacles. I can't really give any results info (considering I'm under the same NDA as competitors because of my testing), but as a spectator I dunno where that thing about "Semis ended at 1 am" thing, that's around the time Qualifying was finishing and they were setting up for the extended course (Taking down the button and gates and doing a final check of everything making sure nothing got damaged). And yeah I have no clue WTF was going on with the walk-ons thing... Some of these people should have had spots because of last year... not to mention ones last year who showed potential... I'm hearing circus music in my head when I hear of the reports Especially on friday but yeah... last night wasn't much better... what reports did you hear anyways because when they started letting everyone in (I know that clusterfuck for spectators was a b**** because no one knew what was going on and no one got an answer) I just got into the bleachers and stayed my a** up there... Luckily there was a good view of the monitor so view wasn't an issue, comfort on those things is another story

I don't think people should automatically have a spot in this year's run because of something they did last year. If that were the case we would hardly see any new faces and the audiences/viewers would get tried of seeing the same competitors each year. It wouldn't be fair to new competitors trying for a spot when you have "ANW's returning competitors that made it X far" taking up slots. It's fair the way it now. Send in a video. If we (ANW) like you, you're in. If not, walk-on/try again next year.

I technically can't answer but I will say one of the odd observations may not be what you think... maybe...
