May 1st Paperwork Deadline Approaching

As I’m sure all of you are well aware, the May 1st paperwork deadline is coming up in less than a week. Everything you need to know about what needs to get done is on the Paperwork page.

A complete run down of the status of everyone’s paperwork is online on the Team Status page.

If you think you’re going to have any trouble making that deadline, please let me know immediately. I do have a little bit of leeway on some of the items, but not many.

That being said, there are two BIG items that MUST be completed by May 1st at 6pm:

1) All teams need to fill out the Dinner & Housing Form. If you don’t fill out the form by then, I will assume your team will not need any housing or dinner tickets.

2) All teams must start a roster in the USAU rostering system AND have a cleared chaperone listed on their roster.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Spirit comments and survey

As of last week every team should have received their spirit comments. Please let me know if you haven’t received comments for your team.

Also, if you haven’t already, please take a minute to fill out the short post-tournament survey. We are looking to get any and all comments from anyone who attended the event — players, coaches, chaperones, and spectators. The more information you can provide us the better! We know that filling out feedback surveys can be a drag, but know that the best way for us to improve the event, by far, is to hear from you… and, as a bonus, everyone who fills out the survey has the option of being entered into a raffle for a tournament hat and shirt!
