Wildfowler Pool Contests Single, Six-Bird Rig & Youth - Not IWCA

In response to many suggestions made at last year’s show, Vince Ciola and Ken Stuparyk reached out to Wildfowler participants to seek their input.
The results of the survey and a visual reference are included in the 2020 Competition Rules. 

New Wildfowler Registration Times - To make registration more convenient, two registration times will be held for the Wildfowler Competitions.
The times and locations will coincide with the usual contest registrations in the Ballroom: Friday, March 13, 2020, 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.; and Saturday, March 14, 2020, 7:30 to 8:30 a.m.
Wildfowler entries will be on display in the Ballroom for public viewing throughout the day on Saturday prior to the contest. Volunteers will be needed to help move the decoys to the pool area. 

New Wildfowler Contest Time and Day: 9 p.m., Saturday night, March 14, 2020, pool area.
Many people commented about having to get up early on Sunday morning. So in 2020, the Wildfowler contests will be held Saturday night beginning at 9 p.m., giving our participants time to have a nice dinner after the auction, and to “sleep in” Sunday morning.
