Going to be a great weekend!

Looking back at last year's panels, likely Allison, Abate, and Wingate will all be there. That bodes well for Buccs and Fusion. Cabs and C2 have an uphill battle. Then add CV into the mix. Should be fun!

But how many of the judges on this panel will realistically be on one of the Rochester panels? They clearly sent a message that Buccs are pretty untouchable.
