[MRSSA News] Regional Tournament - Individual Competition Running Order

[dnemec at comcast.net]

The tournament announcement was written such that the deadline for teams to get paperwork in is 8pm, July 29th. (see page 4).  The deadline for individuals to have all of their paperwork in is at the 'end of the team registration on Friday evening, July 29th' (see page 6).

There are no promises regarding running order in the tournament announcement. (see page 3).

Sounds like a 7am swivel start time with 6 teams on Saturday will work just fine and it conforms to all of the offical tournament announcment information which has been communicated.

We will also have a brief MRSSA meeting on Friday night following the tournament meeting.  Please ensure that your MRSSA dues are submitted to Mark Bortz by registration.
