Meet Information
Because of the number of teams that have already entered our meet, we have had to close the entries early. If you have not entered, you can email me at: j.schwarz22@verizon.net. I will put you on a "first come, first serve list". If any teams already registered changes their mind, and they notify me that their are not coming to the meet, I will invite teams off of the "first come, first serve list". Further on December 6th, any team previously registered that has not entered athletes in the meet will be removed. If there are still teams interested in entering the meet, I will again extend invites to as many teams as I can off of the "first come, first serve list".
Teams already registered should have received an email from me with a password so they can continue to add and edit their entries.
