Bughouse tournaments seem to be happening all the time now, at least in North America (especially at scholastic level) - anyone who might want to organize chess variant(s) events over-the-board could start with having bughouse games/events; here's a link that shows what happened when I Googled 2019 Bughouse tournaments USA:

I am a bit worried about this paragraph that states a dropped Rook is considered virgin (and thus fit for castling). As far as I know there doesn't exist any on-line server that uses this rule, or any engine that plays by this rule. It is also a very weird rule: when you move a Rook you lose castling rights, and moving it back to a corner normally doesn't restore them. And a drop move is a move like any other.

Oddly the wikipedia entry for Bughouse Chess (which is given there as synonymous to Tandem Chess or Siamese Chess, unlike in CVP's entry for Bughouse plus Tandem Chess [which notes some differences in rules between the two variants]) does not appear to discuss drops of captured rooks at all, unless I missed it:
