I get the gut feeling that they'll probably arrive around sunday and start setting up monday. I'm not basing this on any actual info, just instinct...
Honestly I'm hoping they're ahead of that progress wise but just a feeling

Well, they still have not arrived in B'more yet. Will be back tomorrow night with Adam to see any progress. Nice! Our men on the ground! I bet they roll in this weekend at some point. Even after they roll in, it will probably take a day or so before anything recognizable is put up. Can't wait to see the obstacles, I am guessing that they will be substantially different from Venice (aside from the iconic ones like Warped Wall, Steps, and Salmon Ladder).

Well I expect some similarities and some differences, keep in mind last year only 3 obstacles got swapped out between regions (2 in qualifying and one in regional finals, even if we do have something new in city finals now)

Latest weather for Friday night doesn't look good. 60% chance of Scattered Thunderstorms and a low of 53, which wouldn't be bad if it were dry, but a wet 53 ain't good. Fingers crossed that the weather clears up!
Night Low 53° Scattered T-Storms Chance of Rain:60% Wind: WNW at 8 mph Humidity:50%

What is ANW's rain plan anyways? I'm really hoping it doesn't come to that but it's good to know this kind of info...

David Campbell on the NW facebook group said the whole course was soaking wet. So I don't think they plan to do much.

Just stopped by, guess they got here today. Not much setup except the spiderwalk tower, some scaffolding & a prism tilt laying in the grass.

We sure it's actually a Prism Tilt or is this just a bunch of stuff laying down together looking like it (for example the steps maybe?)
Did you get a pic?
EDIT: BTW instead of the being 100% sure post, just going to say it now... Prism Tilt as possible ob3? Replacing Venice's Domino Hill

Thanks. And that definitely looks like the Prism Tilt, I'm just not sure if NBC wants to give up the steps, especially after building all new ones... I get a gut feeling it's replacing Domino Hill from Venice.
Also... is it just me or does the hole where the supports go seem a bit low... I'm worried about the center of gravity on that build...
Part of me is hoping it's ob1 but I get the feeling it won't be

I really hope the Prism Tilt is the first obstacle because after seeing steps all the damn time (For the Last 10 Sasuke Tournaments (Rokudantobi, Junidantobi, Dome Steps, Step Slider, Godantobi) and ALL ANW Tournaments SO FAR), I wanted to see something different and started to get sick of it.

I'd be surprised if they replaced the Steps, since those are kind of iconic, but would be relieved since the steps can be a clusterfuck in wet conditions, which is what we look like we are facing. I really think though they are replacing Domino Hill which had some flaws in actual competition.
