Default RE: Is this the normal calling contest format?

I have been to a couple contests here in NY and they are very boring. Don't get me wrong, these guys call great, it's just the way the format is run. I have called in duck competitions before and they have a set calling sequence to follow as though you were actually calling to a flock of ducks from start to finish. You only have 90 seconds to do the routine.
I would like to see the turkey calling contest done somewhat in this fashion (with the exception of the 90 second rule).
Say, start out with calling to a bird on the limb and right into a flydown cakkle, from there into working the bird with yelps, cutting, kee kee's, purrs. I would say that you can do each series twice, as they do now, just in a format that starts to match a real hunt. Just my thoughts.
