Tech Tuesday 9/10/19

EXCITING KICKOFFS ACROSS MO/KS!

There was a great kickoff in each of the four conferences on Saturday! Sizes varied but great enthusiasm for the new SKYSTONE game was everywhere.

NE @ UMSL - 76 teams, 600+ attendees
SE @ SEMO - 22 teams, 250 attendees
SW @ Drury - 10 teams, 70 attendees
SE @ SEMO - 9 teams, 60 attendees
Additionally, Rockwood had 100+ at their kickoff and we saw pictures from Camdenton's kickoff for their 4 teams.

Total would be 130 teams that we know of at an event. If you couldn't make an event, we hope you watched the Twitch stream or the website for the video.

MAKE SURE TO PAY MO REGISTRATION FEE

Teams pay $225 to play in the MO/KS events. This entitles teams to 1 Qualifier and 2 Meets plus the Conference Qualifier if they earn advancement.

Teams need to have paid National and MO fees by 9/26 in order to begin Event Selection on 10/1. If you team isn't listed on MOFTCScores, then we don't have both payments. (Note - reports are processed on weekdays).
