Great news for everyone. We’ve surpassed the 60 registrations threshold, so we will be a full go for Sarasota. For those that are newly registered, you can read the message below about previous details.

The next steps on our side will be to keep pushing to get closer to 80 total players, and then we will put the monumental task together of dividing the teams. Again, our goal is to keep this as regionally based as possible so that we can grow teams for the division. Where we have large numbers from individual areas, we may be able to get even closer…I.e. we may have a Northeast team, but also one that is Boston specific.

Thank you to everyone that has helped spread the word and worked to make this happen. It is amazing what we can do together!!!

More to come soon,

Rodger

Hello, everyone,

For privacy, we've bcc'd all registrants on this email. Thank you so much for signing up to play in the first Legends Tournament at Sarasota Sunset, November 6-7, 2021.

We wanted to give you a quick update. First, our goal is to get between 60 and 80 players signed up for the division. We want to create teams that are regionally based. We're not sure exactly how that looks yet. But, the idea is we will be able to grow the division regionally, and then eventually have full teams that sign up each year. There may be some minor adjustments for competitive fairness...i.e. we don't want a team of all handlers and another of all cutters...but, in general, we'd love to keep all the "neighbors" on the same team. We'll see what shakes out when registration finishes. Also, we may be going back to the original "UPA REGIONS" if you remember what those looked like...we've got players from all over signed up.

Now, one of the big questions we've been asked is if players can play in both the GGM division and the Legends division. We don't have a perfect response for that yet. Here's what we know. New divisions are created in order for all of us to continue to play the sport we love against players in a competitive environment. Our expectation is for people that sign up for Legends to commit to that division. If you're a 63 year-old ringer that is still running circles around the 54 year-old youngsters...maybe Legends isn't that right spot for you. We'd like you to play in, and commit to, the division that offers you the greatest amount of joy. If that changes your status, please let us know and we will make a note on the form.

At first glance, we have about 43 people so far. Some people signed up twice, and I can't blame you for the excitement. So, we're about halfway to our goal of players right now. Help us spread the word and fill up the rest of those spots. The registration link is https://forms.gle/RPUwgupCej6JcG5z5

Once we get to July 31, we will have a great idea of where we stand and have more information out on the next steps to confirm your spots.

Please let us know if you've got any other questions. We're very excited to see where this division goes!

-Rodger
