In all seriousness, if there is a venue when I can bring a keg and I have enough time to brew in advance, I'll bring one. Or, at some point this summer, maybe I'll host an NJFBOA Northwest event.
Depends on the contest, really. This one was a 'SMaSH' bash, which stands for:
S ingle
M alt
and
S ingle
H op
So your grain bill can only consist of one base malt, and only one hop varietal. You can mash any way you'd like and use any hop schedule you'd like. Yeast is wide open. This contest was limited to Pale Ale, IPA and Imperial IPA.
I went with a Pale Ale. Malt was Vienna, hop I chose was Motueka (New Zealand hop).
Recipe was, for those interested:
