IMPORTANT - SOUTHWEST OPEN and GOLD COAST EXPLORER EVENTS IN MAY

Monday, May 01, 2023 | Written by Gayline Clifford

SOUTWEST OPEN #8 AND GOLD COAST EXPLORER #5 & #6

The above events are the final two events of the 2022-23 Season.  We need EVERYONE who will not be showing up to the event(s) to let us know BY THE DEADLINE DATE OF TUESDAY AT 5pm BEFORE EACH EVENT if you will not be there or you will forfeit the entry fees and receive zero point for the event(s).  I let everyone know at the beginning of the season to let us know if you weren't going to show up.  We have wasted a lot of time on the beach with 2 man heats when we could have made a better event for the kids who were there by having 20 min heats instead of 15 min heats. 

 

GOLD COAST EXPLORER SEASON (below)

We will be utilizing all of Saturday for as many heats as possible and the remaining will go out Sunday.  THAT MEANS WE MIGHT BE RUNNING SOME OF EVENT #6 ON SATURDAY.  Please be prepared for that.  This is due to it being re-scheduled the weekend before the West Coast Championships start (to be precise 2 days before set up).

We would appreciate your cooperation in the above.  
THANKS and let me know if you have any questions  gclifford@nssa.org
