UPDATES, NOTES & INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPETITORS COMPETING IN R.K. SMITH PRODUCTION EVENTS. PLEASE CHECK BACK OFTEN, AS ANY NEWS WILL BE POSTED HERE FOR YOU.

1. ENTRY DEADLINE. EACH CONTEST WILL HAVE AN "ON-TIME" ENTRY DEADLINE. PLEASE FOLLOW THAT GUIDELINE, OR YOU WILL BE PAYING A LATE FEE. THIS IS YOUR CHOICE, IF YOU DECIDE TO ENTER LATE, EXPECT TO PAY A HIGHER ENTRY FEE. WE CANNOT ALLOW LATE ENTRIES ANY LONGER WITHOUT THE FEE. THERFORE IF THE DEADLINE IS THE MONDAY OF THE WEEK OF THE SHOW, WE WILL BE HAPPY TO GET YOU ENTERED AFTER THAT POINT, BUT YOUR ENTRY FEE WILL BE $100, INSTEAD OF $75.

WE HAVE THE ONTIME DATE POSTED ON THE WEBSITE AND ON YOUR ENTRY FORM. WE HAVE THAT DATE, BECAUSE THE WEEK OF THE EVENT, WE ARE ON TASK WITH MANY THINGS, AND MOST ENTRIES SHOULD BE IN AT THIS POINT. IF WE ARE ONLY ANSWERING PHONES AND TAKING ENTRIES DURING THAT LAST WEEK, WE ARE NOW NOT ON TASK WHERE WE HAVE TO BE. WE THEREFORE WILL IMPOSE A FEE TO DISCOURAGE COMPETITORS FROM WAITING UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE. ONCE YOU PAY A LATE FEE, YOU MAY DECIDE TO GET YOUR ENTRY IN ON TIME THE NEXT TIME YOU COMPETE, MAKING IT EASIER ON EVERYBODY. (THIS IS OUR POLICY, AND WE WILL REQUIRE THAT IT IS FOLLOWED BY ALL OF OUR OLD FRIENDS AND ALL OF OUR NEW FRIENDS.)
