VERY, VERY, VERY IMPORTANT:  WHEN REGISTERING

All entries will initially be "wait listed."

You are allowed up to 4 total teams entered.

An additional 2 teams will be considered.  If you seek a 5th or 6th team, PLEASE send an email to Mr. Ellis with that request:  ellistim@usd437.net.  Consideration of additional teams will first be given to Flint Hills NSDA schools, and then schools hosting tournaments that Washburn Rural will plan to attend AND the school will reciprocate.

If you do not enter more than 4 teams, you have nothing to worry about, until we reach our 160 total teams in the tournament that we can accommodate.  

Critically:  Do not plan on entering more than 4 Varsity teams in the tournament.  If you believe you should have serious consideration of more than 4, send your request to Mr. Ellis for consideration.
