*** For the COMPETITOR'S CHOICE, competitors may use any bottle they choose as long as it is not a competing brand to any sponsor & the bottles are clear or slightly tinted glass. Slightly tinted glass means the bottles can still be easily seen through. ALL branding must be removed from the bottle. Branding consists of any paint and/or labels that are on the bottle. Some bottles may contain logos that are molded into the glass. These logos are fine as long as they are clear and are not noticeable from a distance.
Competitors MUST replace all labels on these bottles with provided FBA Pro Tour, FBA, and/or High Spirits stickers. Each Competitor Choice bottle MUST have at least one of the provided stickers. Each competitor will be given stickers for each of their bottles. The Pro Tour stickers are white with a Red & Blue logo and are 3 inches x 3 inches. The FBA stickers are either white with a black logo or white with a red and blue logo, and they are 3 inches x 3 inches. The HSE stickers are white with the yellow and purple HSE logo and are round with a 3 inch diameter. The stickers must be centered on one side of the body of the bottle. If the competitor chooses to use a second sticker, they must be on the opposite side of the body of the bottle from the first sticker. No other stickers are allowed.
Competitors will also be allowed to put up to three (3) strips of tape (each may not be more than 1 inch in width for a total of 3 inches) of tape on the bottle. The tape may be anywhere on the bottles that the competitor wishes. If the competitor chooses, they may use one of these strips to secure the pourspout in the top of the bottle. These are not in addition to the strip securing the spout in place. Bottles may not be altered in any other way. (no paint, no extra tape, no other substances)
-
BOTH drinks in this round will be made using an EXHIBITION FLAIR setup.
-
All bottles will be set with AT LEAST 1/2 ounce of liquor. (NOTE: this is ONLY in the Finals, make sure you have 3/4 oz for Qualifying)
-
Competitors will set their own bottles, but bottles will be checked by the accuracy judges just prior to the bartender's round beginning.
-
There are no amounts listed for the ingredients. As long as the ingredients get in the drink and the drink is not considered UNSERVABLE (see below) it will be acceptable. GET THE INGREDIENTS IN THE DRINK!
-
If competitors wish to use a size of bottle not listed in the PRODUCT LIST, then they must provide their own bottles.
-
Competitors will be allowed to use as many bottles of each liquor needed that they desire, as long as each bottle is set to at least 1/2 ounce. We will provide up to 3 of each bottle needed (with the exception of the Competitor's Choice bottle). If the competitor needs more than 3 bottles, they must provide their own.
-
Competitors may use any free flowing pour spouts in the making of these drinks. Competitors may spend as much time on each drink as they desire, but will be scored on the round as a whole.
Each competitor will be required to perform at least three (3) separate unique Finest Call Stall moves to showcase the Finest Call bottle during their routine. These "Finest Call Stalls" will not be worth any direct points but will be judged as part of your round as a whole. If you attempt the Stalls, but miss, you will NOT be penalized for not hitting them, only normal deductions apply like a drop. If the competitor does not attempt the Stalls, they will be penalized as per the FINEST CALL STALL penalties listed below. Without Finest Call there would be no Legends this year, so please take this portion seriously and put forth your best effort.
The Flairco Portable Bar will be used for the LEGENDS exhibition flair round.
Competitors may set up bars in any way they like, as long as the bottles remain in the well, or the lower bar. Bottles may not start on top of the bar. Tins and glassware may go anywhere, as long as they remain face down. The fruit tray and straw caddy may go on the top or lower bar, BUT it is recommended to keep them on the lower bar as it will improve the judges line of site. Setting up the bar is the competitors responsibility. Make sure that you have everything that you need.

To maximize your points in this category you should attempt to use the sponsor products as much as possible in your flair as well as find creative and unique ways to promote the sponsors within your round. We are not looking for this to be a specialty round, yet we want to see professional and creative ways to highlight and promote the brands that are making Legends possible.
