Each team consisted of at least one ACAD glass art student. Teams were alloted 1 hour and thirty minutes to create a glass masterpiece on a theme. Themes were drawn thirty minutes prior to the team's blowing slot. Teams blew from noon until after 6 pm, with two teams working in the hot shop at any one time.
