Serious side by side shooters are a bit over scheduled at side by side clay bird events from coast to coast. They really don't have any extra days for sanctioned competitive sporting clays. On another point, the vendor presence at side by side events is as important to the event participants as the shooting competition. Really serious side by side competitors can participate in any NSCA shoot they wish. There are many NSCA shoots that would be of interest to side by side shooters. I would rather finish high up in an NSCA shoot, winning over a bunch of K gun and B gun shooters than to do the same at a side by side shoot. Side by sides are often shot in open box bird and Columbaire competition and win a few bucks occasionally.
