I have twice been invited for the Oster Invitational International Tournament of Champions 2004 as well as 2005. This competition is held at Intergroom in Summerset, NJ. Groomers are chosen because of outstanding grooming ability and accomplishments in the contest ring. Groomers cannot enter the Tournament at random; they must be invited.
