Tournament Sanctioning

It's actually time to start thinking about who, when, where, and what tournaments are going to take place in the Midwest. Jim Babcock hs volunteered to lead us in putting together the next version of the regional guide, the summer bible to many of us. What do you need to do right now?

Step 1---Figure out when your club would like to host tournaments next year and then coordinate those dates with your state councilmen.
Step 2---Go online to sanction your tournament with USA-WS.
*****tournaments sanctioned online by 1/1/08 will get into the regional guide, after that they will not*****
Step 3---Send the proper USA-WS sanction fees to USAwaterski
Step 4---Send the proper regional sanction fee to Jeff Surdej, 21500 W. No Wake Ave, Wilmington, IL 60481.
- Traditional/Barefoot/Pro--$75
- Show--$100
- Kneeboard/Wakeboard--$60
- College, NSL, NWL, Novice, U-Can DO it Challenge, Physically Challenged, Fun--$30
- Late Fee--$25 (after 1/1/08)
Checks made out to AWSAmidwest Region. Tournaments sanctioned after 1/1/08 that are not going in the guide do not pay the $25 late fee, the late fee is for those who are late on sanctioning and/or paying the regional guide fees
Step 5---Make sure to proof your regional guide announcement with James Babcock by 1/31/08-if you make any changes after your proof make sure to contact Jim Babcock and let him know the exact changes.
Step 6---Make sure to figure out your officials and put them on your online sanction at least 3 weeks before your event so you get your kit on time
Advertising will be sold for $50 for business card, $100 for 1/4 page, $200 for half page, $350 for full page, let us know if you or anyone you know is interested
You can contact Jim Babcock anytime. Let's get many of our tournament sanctioned as *5 star events. There are many benefits to having a *5 star tournament. Also try to include collegiate discounts, add novice events, attach an NSL event to your tournament.
