I have tried to look around to find the dates for the 2020 season and haven’t found anything. Was wondering if anyone knows the dates or did it get canceled?
Thanks,
It appears that a 3 day season may happen, but no dates are set yet. Looks like SAFMC is trying to get the rules changed so that the days can be spread out over the summer, as opposed to the current back-to-back days and weekends.

Hard to believe this is still going on with our ARS. If you’d have told anyone this a few years ago, they would have called you crazy. 3 days in the most unpredictable weather patterns of the year.
It will be six foot seas with severe thunderstorm warnings.
I am fragile. Not like a flower. But like a bomb.
