This is a GIANT CHANGE from past years when you could wander up and add players at SECTIONALS!!!

ALL TEAMS, EVEN COLLEGE TEAMS, MUST HAVE ALL PLAYERS ON THEIR ROSTERS BY THE LATE (AND FINAL) REGISTRATION DEADLINE WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 14.  Unlike past years, you can't just show up and add players.  Get everyone in and do not wait until the last minute.  If the registration site goes down because every yahoo in the US with a deadline of this week decided to register last minute, that's going to be a bummer.

From the UPA site:

THANK YOU ALL PLAYERS AND CAPTAINS!!!!

Checks / Payment:

            $150 to BRIAN CANNIFF for PITTSBURGH

            $100 to BRIAN CANNIFF for OAKS

            $25 late roster fee for UPA (if necessary)

            $25 deposit check to BRIAN CANNIFF (SASE otherwise shredded)

            Any UPA dues you need paid in a check to UPA

For those of you who need a SSN or EIN please use the following:

POOLS: t/b/a

If you can not come back SUNDAY due to injuries (or for any reason) let me know and also send me email to canniff@canniff.net   Thanks.

IMPORTANT: PLAY ALL YOUR GAMES.  MASTERS teams may be disqualified from MASTERS REGIONALS if they do not complete their schedule (as in last few years – you guys have been great about contributing and playing so I don’t expect this to be an issue).  OPEN TEAMS may be disqualified from OPEN REGIONALS if they do not play out all their games.  DO NOT ASSUME ANY GAME CAN BE SKIPPED ON SUNDAY EVEN IF IT IS A REPEAT!  Involved captains will review the situation with me and see if it meets the guidelines – remember even if I get it wrong as SC if you skip a game that should not have been skipped HQ will disqualify your team from the Series.  So let’s take the time to make sure that we get it right (as we did in 2003 when there were more late-day rematches due to format).  DO NOT EVEN DREAM OF MISREPRESENTING GAMES THAT WERE NOT PLAYED AS PLAYED.

TEAMS – PLEASE CHECK TO MAKE SURE I HAVE YOU HEADED TO THE RIGHT DIVISION

6 DIV I TEAMS

7? DIV II PITTS TEAMS

17 DIV II OAKS TEAMS

SEEDING is preliminary and my first guess.

This may be screwy.  I'd like to keep 'same school' out of pool together…
