The Thursday before the actual competition, each team is given 20lbs of wings and a bottle of Hornitos Tequila to make some chicken-fuelled magic. The teams then arrive on the 20th ready to grill on the patio and eventually serve the wings to attendees for eating and judging.
There will be drink deals like $5 Hornitos tequila and $5 Phillips 18oz draughts to get in on as well.

Final votes are then tallied, and winners are chosen based on the combined votes of the public and the judging panel.
After this exciting event wraps, the Long Weekend afterparty continues all night long.
