After speaking with the APA National Office, we feel the safest thing for everyone involved is to postpone the Cary, NC USAM event due to the impending hurricane. The new dates will be September 29-30; all times will remain the same.

If you are unable to attend during this time frame you have three options:

1.) Move to a location that is running next weekend. Dependent on whether or not there are openings at the location you desire.

2.) Transfer your entry fee to 2019.

3.) Refund of entry fee

If you are able to attend on September 29-30, we will see you then!
