Looks like an update on Radium events is in order.

New for 2018, Godfather Challenge Jul 27-29. This is a pyramid ladder format the top position being the "Godfather". Next level has 2 positions, 3rd level has 3 positions, etc. The event is limited to 45 shooters meaning 9 different levels. Initial starting positions on the ladder will be by random draw. The objective is to work your way to the Godfather position by challenging a person on a higher level to a 20 target competition. If you win the challenge you trade places with the person you challenged. If you don't win, there is no change in the ladder position. There will be about 10 different shooting venues so the challenger gets to pick the venue they think best suits their ability. Handicaps will apply and if you don't like your handicap you can negotiate for $$$omething more favorable. Assuming 45 shooters, there will be cash prizes for the top 5 levels. The entire theme will be Italian. Bonus for using a shotgun made in Italy. Multi course, Italian family style dinner on Saturday evening, wine included. Italian theme lunches Sat and Sun. Meet & Greet Friday evening with wine and cheese. Challenges will be $5 per person for 20 targets. That obviously won't cover total event costs so there will be a cover charge for food, prizes, beverages, etc. Budget still being worked on but likely about $120. If you have Mafia style clothing, you might want to wear it. So you get the idea, there will be shooting, Italian food, booze, extortion, side bets, perhaps protection money but don't count on drugs or prostitution.
