12 to 13 hours, really? That's not even close man. Even with higher volume MAC events you're standing about 3, maybe 4 hours tops if you are working cones. I'd say 3 is closer if they don't have the population needed to only need people to work one heat each.

MAC runs their events much more efficient IMO.

It's more laid back, but it's a lot of the same people in the end who help run and design the course.
This weekend there is about 60 signed up so far, I'm sure they will be closer to 70 or 80 with walk ups if the weather is good, and the first COM event I ran this year was a fucking blast. Course was fast and I was done and home by 4pm ish. Spend maybe 2 total hours working cones (1 hr each heat).
Anyone who goes this weekend will have a blast, it's the last weekend for DCTC for the year for auto x at least.
Here is one of my videos from M5, that was a fun course!
