No weight in on Friday, (subject to change if Council Officers approved).
8) Ports for the Shootout will be limited to the Venice area including Empire.
The Shootout as is all of our competition is base on a honor system. The goal is for Council members to have a spirited competition and get know each other (a little bonding and camaraderie), and enjoy each others’ company. As those who participated it in the past will attest, it is lots of fun and is growing in popularity each year. The river is very low and visibility should be excellent this year.
Each council registered club is requested to support the Shootout by a donation $150. Individual divers may make a donation of any amount and donate prizes and/or entrance prizes. Rafe is bankrolling the shootout paying for the T-Shrts, prizes, food, and beer. Special Thanks to GIT ‘EM for coming up with the first $150.
The four (4) major awards will be Glass Sculptures similar to 2004 Council Awards.
The Shootout site is located at Rafe’s beachhouse in Boothville between mile markers 7 & 8. The 1st house past PHI heliport on the left side of the road going south. The house set back about 150” and is white with some large oak trees in the front. Not to mention the garage door has been stuck in the open position for the past 6 months and will probably still be open. A sign or banner will be on site. There is parking space for at least 20 to 25 trucks. Rafe’s house has five (5) bedrooms and can sleep 30 to 40 divers, but most not in beds. If you need a place to sleep, you are welcome to stay and party for Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights. Please bring towels and bedding material: sleeping bag, or air mattress, or a foam pad. A meal will be served Thursday, Friday and Saturday night and beer will be supplied for the Awards Program. Rafe knows how to put on a party. It is requested that divers stay over to Sunday and drive home or have a designated diver. NO DUI OR DWI’s are allowed.
Please note if bad weather cause us to cancel the shootout it will be rescheduled for the middle of August.
