The Panther Prowl had voiced interest, so I'm sure you're going to get your chance.

Love the idea. I hope the Ruckus joins! How are the points managed if a team only goes to one event and other teams go to multiple?

In order to qualify for the Championship you must attend 2 events. We understand that this is difficult for some teams, especially further south where the events are more spread out, but the goal is to encourage teams to attend at least 2 events.

MidKnight Mayhem would be willing to go in for this! Let me know how.

One of the motivating forces behind this idea is encouraging teams to attend multiple off season events. The THOR committee is still hashing out details, but we are considering offering a "second event" registration discount to make it easier on the budget for teams attending more than one.

As a "shameless plug" for our event I will say that Reidsville is typically beautiful at this time of year - and our community offers many affordable options for meals and rooms. Plus we've got some other tricks up our sleeves to make this event a special occasion. Look for details soon!
