*IMPORTANT*

 ●       If you have not paid and have entries advancing to the out rounds, we will not advance those entries until you have cleared any and all financial liabilities you have.

 ●       Any additional entries that are cleared after October 14^th will not be eligible for the $50 early bird discount.

Any unreported drops are defined as a drop in the first round of the event. This harms our ability to panel rounds for good competition. Schools with unreported/late drops will be assessed a fee of $50 per drop. Please notify tab immediately if a student falls ill or withdraws from competition during the tourn
