Replying to Anyone in the A-Basin comp this past weekend?

I went up to arapahoe basin on sat. and noticed they were having an amatuer comp. was anyone from here in it? Kinda pissed me off that they had to close it for basically the whole day, and they took forever to get through all the skiers/boarders. I only got to go through like 2 or 3 times at the end of the day when they finished.
How do you get into amature competitions? I would really enjoy doing some of that kind of stuff next year.
