IMPORTANT Visa Information

[Phoenix Spud]

Hi All,

It is looking more and more likely that the US government is going to shut down Friday at Midnight (DC time). This means all non-essential government services will NOT be functioning. The government (last I checked...) has not released a list of these services.

If you need a visa to attend championships, please try to get it ASAP as it is not clear if you will be able to during the shut down! The shut down could last anywhere from hours to weeks, there is just no way to know.
