2022 NSA KING OF THE HILL - 3 SEED INTO DOUBLE ELIM - FIRST PLACE WINS HOWL-O-SCREAM TICKETS!!

Coaches,

As you know this weekend's 1^st PLACE PRIZE is a ticket for each winning player to Howl-O-Scream at Busch Gardens in Tampa. This prize must be used on Thursday, October 27th. There are no exceptions to the date. Your entire group must choose to go or not go as the prize package will not be split. Your entire group must arrive together and arrive between the hours of 5:00pm and 7:00pm to pick up the tickets (further instructions will be given to the winners once they are determined).  Should this not work for you then you will be awarded the value of the group tickets that would have been purchased for your players. THE DECISION ON WHICH CHOICE YOU ARE GOING TO USE MUST BE GIVEN TO PAT AFFRUNTI BY 11:00AM, MONDAY MORNING ON THE 24TH OTHERWISE PRIZE PACK WILL BE FORFEITED. NO EXCEPTIONS FOR ANY REASON AS YOU ARE BEING TOLD 4 DAYS IN ADVANCE.  Please have this discussion with your parents prior to the championship game if possible so you will know ahead of time which route you are deciding to take.  Good luck this weekend!

VERY IMPORTANT NEW SANCTIONING/CHECK-IN PROCESS:

IF YOU HAVE NOT SANCTIONED YET FOR THE 22/23 SEASON, PLEASE DO SO ONLINE AT PLAYNSA.COM TODAY!  IF YOU HAVE DIFFICULTIES, PLEASE TEXT CHRISTY RANDOLPH AT (727) 348-7301.  THERE ARE MANY NEW STEPS, SO PLEASE DO NOT WAIT UNTIL SATURDAY TO DO THIS.  THIS MUST BE DONE BEFORE YOU PLAY YOUR FIRST GAME!

AFTER SANCTIONING ONLINE, YOU WILL HAVE TO INVITE YOUR PLAYERS’ PARENTS TO REGISTER THEIR PLAYER AND SIGN THE WAIVER ELECTRONICALLY (YOU WILL BE PROVIDED WITH A LINK TO SEND THEM TO MAKE THE PROCESS EASIER).  YOU WILL BE NOTIFIED WHEN THE PARENTS HAVE COMPLETED THEIR PART AND THEN YOU WILL ADD THEM TO THE ROSTER.  YOU NO LONGER HAVE THE OPTION TO PRINT YOUR ROSTER, SO WHEN YOU CHECK IN ON SATURDAY, THE SITE DIRECTOR WILL PULL UP YOUR ONLINE ROSTER AND VERIFY IT WITH YOU.  ANY PLAYERS NOT ON ELECTRONIC ROSTER THAT ARE PLAYING WITH YOU THAT WEEKEND WILL NEED TO BE ON A GUEST PLAYER FORM (SEE BELOW BY SEEDING SCHEDULE).  YOU WILL ALSO HAVE TO SHOW PROOF OF INSURANCE AS THE DIRECTOR DOES NOT HAVE ACCESS TO THAT CURRENTLY.  YOU CAN SHOW A SCREENSHOT OF YOUR CERTIFICATE OR BRING A PAPER COPY (WE NO LONGER HAVE TO KEEP IT). AGAIN, IF YOU ARE STRUGGLING WITH ANY OF THIS PLEASE TEXT CHRISTY RANDOLPH AT (727) 348-7301 AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
