NEW THIS YEAR

If you have teams on the Waitlist, and are wondering Why? We have a new policy this year - We are moving teams off the waitlist when we receive your entry fees. If your team is still on the waitlist, it is because we have not received your entry fees. If the tournament fills up while we have not received your entry fees, you may end up on the waitlist. Please send your entry fees.
