We are expecting over 300 participants and a sold out crowd at the Denaina Center of up to 3000 spectators. Based on past championships, the media exposure will be huge and worldwide. Already there have been inquiries from the Washington Times, Time Magazine, Philadelphia Inquirer, Fortune Magazine, the CBS Early Show, the BBC and more.
