NCRA speed contest

Hello!

Has anyone here participated in the speed contest at NCRA’s annual convention? I earned my merit a few months ago, and as I’m obviously addicted to putting feathers in my cap, competing is very appealing now that it’s available to me.

It seems like the contest is set up basically like any other speed test. Accurate?

Aside from the cost, are there any negatives anyone would like to share?

Thanks in advance 😊
