***PLEASE NOTE***
Due to misinformation and old postings on our part, we have changed the criteria for those participants that missed the first show in regards to high point prizes.
This series will require that only 2 out of 3 shows be attended. To make the points fair for everyone, everyones lowest point score in each event will be dropped and the two highest scores will be kept to determine end of series awards. If you missed the first show, your zero score will be dropped and the points accumulated in the next two shows will count toward the prizes for the end of the series.
