WE WANT TWO SENIOR EVENTS - MEN and WOMEN.
We have set up both events to be at 9AM, but the intention is that if the Women's event gets to be 7+ (or 15) or more, we will work to grow it and make it the best possible women's event ever! If we get to 15 or more, the start time of the event will be no earlier than 1PM because of the strip limitations of this great facility.
This will definitely push back the start time of the DIV 2 event, but NOT YET.
We promise to communicate early and often about this event because we want it to be as strong as possible for everyone.
