June Nationals Newsletter

[G. Jay]

Is it just me or is the June newsletter confusing? It says that tech is only offered on Friday (the 4th?), at least for the TNT. Can this be? I'm not planning to get there until Tuesday. Am I wrong in assuming there is no issue getting tech'd, at least for the competition?

I think TNT registration is explained poorly too but never mind that for now.

Thanks Darryl, that's what I figured. I guess the newsletter is just that poorly written.

Mine came via e-mail. I think it is something I selected in my SCCA profile when I registered with the site.

Here it is if you're interested.
