WEDNESDAY 9-14-16 UPDATE
We had 21 players register online. Entrants credit cards have been processed. 14 boys and 7 girls signed up. There were 2 late entries that don't show up under the players tab (1 boy and 1 girl) to make a total of 23 players. This makes an even 8 girls and odd 15 boys. We are looking to add 1 more boy to make an even 16 boys and 8 girls. This will be a perfect number. Teams will be split up and waterfalled based on latest southern ranking. Southern's will decide how many teams we split up in to. Maybe 4 total teams consisting of 6 players each. 4 boys per team and 2 girls per team. The format will be decided in the next few days and we'll post it here on the main page.
