<DIV>Please read the attached message. Please let me know of your vote ASAP. The question is should we allow Aberdeen to represent the Midwest region without skiing in our regional tournament?</DIV>

<DIV>Hi Dave:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Hope your summer is going well. Apparently the Alberdeen Aqua Addicts can not attend Regionals this year - but are interested in skiing in D2 Nationals. I have asked Bruce McCalmon the NSSA position on this. He replied:</DIV>
<DIV> "If a Region has a Regional qualifying tournament - the Team should compete in it. If they do not, it will be up to their Regional Director(s) to approve or dis-approve their entry into division II Nationals. "</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We are interested in seeing as many teams compete in D2 Nationals as possible. If you need to contact Todd Thorson for information about their situation his email address is <STRONG>:</STRONG> <A title=mailto:skithor@abe.midco.net href="mailto:skithor@abe.midco.net">skithor@abe.midco.net</A><STRONG>. </STRONG></DIV>

<DIV>Thanks. Let me know if I can be of help. (when I first received the email from Todd - I indicated they hopefully would be able to compete. That is the premise he is working on - until he is informed otherwise. With only 7 teams competing at D2 in 2005 at Rock Island, we are contacting teams to encourage them to come to D2 this year). </DIV>
