We had a good contest this year with 42 makers entering 101 calls. I would like to thank the volunteers that helped with the contest. The callers were Ron Dyer, Ronnie Turner, Carter Phillipy, Jack Trittschuh, and Stephen Handy. The judges were Travis Ward, Ross Hare, and Tony Kolaric. Andrew Hadden & Josh Lynn were the "call master".

The calls were classified in five divisions; metal reed, natural wood, acrylic, and open class, as well as an amateur class. The judges scored each call in five areas - hail call, feed call, comeback call, quacks, and overall tone.

The division winners were awarded to the call with the highest combined total score, tie scores were broken by a tie breaker system starting with the hail call score. The four division winners were again presented to the judges by Ronnie Turner to determine the Best of Show call.
