    if i remember correctly, last year was limited to 80 boats, so there should be 20 spots available on Wednesday at a minimum.

    Just got off the phone with Andy and he says there's only a few Pro spots left and he's optimistic the Pro side will fill by noon hour. With the FLW event across the border the following week and the fact that the Kingston Open filled last year with a waiting list, there should be no reason why both sides won't fill within the next 48 hours.
