Drop bags are returned by official cut off time. For example, for Sugar Badger 2025, bags will be returned by 8pm on May 24, 2025. Don’t plan on them being there earlier. We need to take care of the runners. That’s our #1 priority.

You have three options. 1) Come back and get it. 2) Have a friend get it. 3) consider it a sacrifice to the ultra gods. NOTE: Scotty Kummer is NOT your friend for the purposes of getting your drop bag.
