Main Event will be live streamed this year!
(We’ve also addressed the video & sound quality issues that occurred last year.)

Both Friday & Saturday will be live streamed. The video will go live at 6:00pm on Friday & 10:00am on Saturday. The live stream will be broadcast on my YouTube channel. The link is below:
