They have normally run regular bus shuttles from the Sahara in the past. Entry to the TOC for spectators has been free in the past.

Its a blast, I went as a competitor and a spectator in 2000. It was great doing both.

They normally run an unknown first (nice way to start the day!), then an known then a freestyle each day Wed thru Friday. Saturday is normally 2 unknowns and 2 freestyles for the semi-finals (top 14 in the past). Sunday is knowns, unknowns and freestyles. (Top 7 in the past).

Thats the inside scoop.
