I am still waiting on a few skippers to let me know their plans. I know there are some folks hoping to see their names turn RED.

Colonial Cup looks to have set their group, but had to go to 10th place to fill it. Sorry some of you are unable to attend this year.
Florida Cup is just waiting hear from Jack Ward.
Dixie Cup Is waiting on a few. But I think we all know Reichard and Danny won't miss it. What about you Skip Steagall?
New England Cup has a yes and a hopefully yes, and waiting on the rest to reply.

Please refer back to the top of this post to see the updates on the lists. It would be really great to have all 21 slots filled for the event.

See you at the lake.

Colonial and Dixie have confirmed their entrants for Champions. Florida is waiting on one more spot and New England needs a few more. Everyone else on the lists of top tens will be on waiting lists for cancellations.

I am working on the NOR, SI and Online entry right now. Will have it posted shortly.

Unfortunately the Colonial Cup group has had some dropouts already. However, we are still waiting to hear from others in Florida and New England.

I have only received two entries online so far. Make your plans now folks. The NOR and entry is in the post above.

Some changes to report at the top of the post. Chuck Luscomb can't make it now due to work schedule. This opens up a slot for Al Dion.
I still only have three boats registered so far. Please be sure to use the online entry form and get me your entries, so I can plan the event and order t-shirts.

If there are still unfilled slots available we could extend the invitation to region 4 sailors as an option, assuming this falls within the current bylaws and spirit of the competition.

A lot of skippers are saying no this year. Mostly due to schedule issues. But there are still names on the list in red and I am waiting on some entry forms to come in. I think we can still get 16 to 18 boats on the water.
