Not in my area but wanted to share. Apparently they had to change venues last minute so the contest is free to the public this weekend. If you're in the area it could be worth your time.

The pandemic definitely has to have fucked them up pretty good financially. The attendance always looks ok to me though considering they're usually in venues designed for larger events. SLS needs a big venue to fit the course not really the crowd. I think they should probably shift focus back to South America if/when travel restrictions get rolled back. The crowds down there for contests always seem larger and more lively.
