It's going to be aired.. at this point it's a win for the community. I was prepared to never see that thing with how much they delayed the living hell out of it. It's a Sunday.. the timeslot is irrelevant. Also it could do well...or not so well in ratings because Memorial Day is the next day (which for those of you not in America and don't know is a national holiday) so it'll be interesting to see how it does. Hopefully it does well.

Hopefully it does well. Agreed. It could go either way. Some years it as a boon to the TV industry and others it was like everyone shut off their television. Either way, for those involved who have been waiting a YEAR for this to air they finally get the spotlight. For fans who genuinely wanted to see this fun event they finally get to see it in HD. Ratings would be great but the fact that it's even on the air at all after most of us gave up hope outweighs any ratings bomb. Btw not that it matters in the grand scheme of things.. but I did a tweet hoping more people see it. Most outside of these forums even know it's going on.

You guys are reading too far into the timeslot and the next day, there isn't any kind of reference and what you're seeing is purely coincidental, there isn't any intentional terrorism reference there... plane and simple...

They better not act like this was filmed a week before ANW 8. It's bad enough when they act like ANW episodes are happening in real time.

Well I can't wait to see what kind of crazy stuff they are going to pull in this special. Maybe an upside-down salmon ladder? (jk)

I don't see how they'll fit it all into only two hours I was looking for "prepare to fast forward" but this works just as well.

"What the hell am I looking at? When does this happen in the *ANW Competition*?" "Now. You're looking at now, sir. Everything that happens now, is happening now." "What happened to then?" "We passed then." "When?" "Just now. We're at now now."

What are we trying to do? Make a whole ANW parody of a movie that's already a parody? What would we even call it? Space Cannonballs

LOL Sorry.. it was my fault.. ehem
Btw.. looking at the photos. There are 2 different events? One being individual and the other being teams? I see the two teams since the photos have them but do we know of all of the individuals?

Why do I get the feeling the magic of SELECTIVE EDITING will pop up and individual competition would be half the show edited to look like the purpose was so Matt and Akbar can scout who they want to draft for their teams in the Team Competition

The main competition took place 3 days before this. The whole damn thing is a wildcard show.

The only events I'm aware of are a "highest Warped Wall clear" competition and a Salmon Ladder speed competition. To avoid giving away details, I can assure you that the latter will not disappoint.

What I was asking though is that can someone put out a list of who will/should appear in the individual? I don't watch the show so some of the faces are new to me.

I imagine it'll be the usual suspects. EDIT: As a refresher to everyone, here's how the National Finals went down last year.

Or were you ignoring it because it could be spoilers?
