Date-Clash Checker
Teams can only be in one place on a Saturday. Pick the weekend you are thinking about and where you are, and this shows every sanctioned contest within range that would be competing for the same field — how hard each one pulls, and which weekends either side are quieter.
Type a contest town, a state, or a ZIP — or leave it empty to see the whole country. 600 contest towns autocomplete in the box.

Pull is a rough estimate of how much of your potential field a contest takes: its field size, halved for roughly every 150 miles a team would have to drive past your gate to get there. It is a comparison aid, not a forecast. Field is the published team count where there is one, and otherwise the average of that contest’s own past editions.
This is the whole country. Put a town, state or ZIP in the Near box and every number above narrows to the teams who could actually reach you.
Only contests already sanctioned and listed at kcbs.us can show up here, so a quiet weekend on this page is not a guarantee — the next organiser to sanction one might be looking at the same square on the calendar. Nothing you type into this page is stored or sent anywhere: towns and ZIPs are matched against the contest listings themselves.
