We will be using the Lottery system for log selection. Logs will be separated
into main piece logs and quick carve logs and will be numbered. The lottery will
begin Thursday at noon. As competitors show up they draw a number. The log that
matches your number is yours. At 6:00 pm Thursday night, the logs not taken in
the lottery are up for a first come first serve grab. If you don’t like the log
you drew, hold out having it moved until after 6:00 pm. You may trade logs with
another carver at anytime.
