I agree with lroberts - unless you're using the same ramp as the Elites (or one close by) you really won't notice them. There are many tournaments going on at that lake at any given time. Our club had our tournament on KY lake at the exact same time as the Elites last year and the lake was just as crowded as any other day of the week. Stay away from Paris at their take-off and weigh-in times and you should be fine.
