We had a good contest this year with 28 makers entering 60 calls. I would like to thank the volunteers that helped with the contest. The callers were Tommy Hall, Ronnie Turner, Austin Davidson, and Brian Phillips. the Judges were Roger Lavers, James Bennett, and Brad Coffey. Brian Byers served as scorekeeper with assistance from Zach Sutton. Billy Hays was the "call master".

The calls were classified in four categories; metal reed, natural wood, acrylic, and open classes. 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 and maker.
