Important New Year Reminders

January 2, 2024 at 6:24 PM

We hope everyone had a safe and blessed holiday season and wish everyone the best for 2024!

As we turn the page into the new year and get back to business, it's time to refocus. So with that here's some friendly reminders...

Players who play must have their annual dues paid. As of tonight's matches, playing without doing so will result in any points earned being forfeited. Also, as of next week, unpaid players will be removed from rosters. I've been super nice since we started the new session in the midst of the holiday season, but that's over now...

Teams showing a past due balance will not receive bonus points. Balances must be cleared by the time I enter scores, so it's in your teams best interest to have payment in on the night of play to avoid any issues. Lost bonus points are not returned... unless I screw something up... and that's pretty rare. Again, holidays are over peeps, don't call and ask for more time... it's been a month and Jenny says I don't need to be nice any more.

For teams that are already qualified for the World Qualifier, any roster changes must have been made by week 4 and rosters are now locked. Sunday and Monday divisions have a little extra time since we missed the last two weeks of play.. week 4 is the deadline for you guys as well. Other teams not currently qualified for the World Qualifier can still make roster changes.

Fall session tri cups are scheduled for Jan. 27-28 at Trickshots. We are working on getting all the brackets set up this week. High point winners from that session will receive their high point plaques at Tri Cup.
