#1 Player Registration Discount
I had planned to send this letter last week to give everyone a one week warning on the early registration discount but in the midst of holiday travel just didn’t get it done. As a result we will extend the deadline for the early registration discount until Monday January 5th – if you pay on line the discount expires at midnight, or if you mail a check it must be postmarked on the 5th.
#2 Team Registrations
It continues to look like we will set a record for teams this year as we have gone over the 200 team mark in record time. Look who has registered and if your team is not registered encourage your coach to register as we will start filling up age groups within the next 30-45 days. Link
#3 Family Fundraising
The economy is putting financial strain on quite a few families. The fundraising program that is in place can be used for families to earn $500-2000 to attend nationals for more information. Fill out Contact form on website
#4 Hardship Exemptions
I want to clarify that our goal in the hardships is only to put controls in place not to limit players. We have had a lot of hardship exemption request for players that attend co-op three days a week but are still 51% homeschooled and this is not a problem.
#5 Team USA
Registration is now open for Team USA. Link

Writers and Bloggers Needed
Nationals is looking for writers and bloggers for two projects:
Writers – this year we will be doing a special program/magazine called The Showcase. The program will include All-American information and history about past national tournaments. We are looking for a number of people who would be willing to a take writing assignment, research and write an article for The Showcase. It is our goal to gather and preserve the history of Nationals through The Showcase over the next 5-7 years. If you’re interested in writing or editing please contact us through the website contact form.
Bloggers – we would like to have 4-5 people write a blog during the National Tournament. It would be best to have people who are not attached to one team for this project so they can watch and write about 4-6 games per day. We really want to enhance the interaction for people at home as well as having write ups on 25-35 games each day. This will be great if we can find bloggers, I would love to see a bunch of graduates do this.
Special Thank You
The response that we have received from yesterday's announcement has been 100% positive and we really appreciate the spirit of cooperation. We do realize that there will be questions and concerns and we welcome all comments as we strive to make Nationals an even more amazing experience for all.
