One of my favs, but good luck competing in Am. Wheat/Rye with a clone; the high hops presence is likely to get dinged by judges who aren't familiar with the beer or the range for the style. Most judges will expect a very lightly flavored beer with a wheat presence (which does come through nicely with the red wheat % used in Gumballhead) and minimal hops. Despite being listed as a commercial example (not "classic" examples), it's such an outlier.
If you're in an area where you'd expect judges to be familiar with 3F, you might consider entering it as a specialty, which allows for clones of specific beers. Might also consider entering in APA and specifying "with wheat" as a special ingredient.
