Okay, me mateys: The following have confirmed:

1. Cheeky Girl (Trader Vic's Grog)
2. Drunken Hat (Black Beard's Ghost)
3. Tiki Hula (Original Recipe)

The following are "tentatively" scheduled to enter the contest (I've heard through the grapevine or through one source or another, so, I apologize in advance, if I'm incorrect or if you did not have any intention of entering!) However, for planning purposes, if you are definitely entering a grog, please post your "AYE" or "NAY", not later than Wed. 12:00 noon. I've planned for 6 contestants, so I need to know ASAP as I'll have to buy more supplies and reprint ballots.

4. PhiPhiRho ?? (original recipe)
5. Wersmo Derinc ?? (original recipe)

And just to recap, Martiki has suggested 40 taste samples. The cups I purchased are 3 oz., so samples of about 2-1/2 oz. should suffice. My drink is approx. 5 oz. (which is kind of small for a tropic drink), so I have to make more than the 8-12 drink ratio, 100 oz., is what I was planning on making, so plan your drink quantity accordingly.

It's better if you pre-mix your entry and keep it in a container or containers. And keep in mind that you will have to pour from that container (a pitcher works nicely) If you need to store it, I will have an ice chest available in my room. If you need to mix a bit prior to the tasting, let me know, so I can make my room available.

According to the Tropics, it looks like I'm in ROOM 140. Everything should be set up and ready to go, but of course, I'll need a little help with set-up, and Monkeyman has volunteered for a little crowd control, which we will need.

Judging from last year, the natives get restless, so we should be ready to pour samples at 11:30 p.m.

With some tried and true recipes and some original recipes, this grog contest should be quite interesting!
