If anyone wants to pre-order extra "Champions Banquet" tickets for Wednesday evening, April 18th, please let me know by March 29. Admission tickets can be pre-ordered too, but it's just as easy to get them on site each day.
I have also talked to Phil and if there is the opportunity then he agreed that the teams could come to my house for a nice home cooked meal! I only live about 45 min away from Lincoln and my mom has agreed to cook dinner and let us all relax for a night. Still talking to Phil about the day we would do this but his assumption was that Friday if we move on. I have heard that many parents will be coming to Nationals, parents are welcome to join us, I just need to get an idea of who other than the listed people on the team rosters will be going. Either text me, or just reply on here so I can help my mom get ready and prepare.
Regarding the schedule above, the Men's Team Finals will follow women's singles finals after break and reoil.
One the item of note There will be absolutely no outside food or beverages, with the exception of energy bars and fruit allowed in the center. We will be providing all of the coaches and athletes with drinks

Plan to depart from the bowling center at 6am 4/18. We can grab breakfast when we get to Columbia, Missouri, about 100 miles into the trip.
This should get us there in plenty of time to get equipment checked in and get into our hotels rooms as early as they'll let us so we can prepare for the banquet.
Just like last year teams will be permitted to practice at the center until they check in the bowling balls. Once your ball card is submitted to the tournament staff you may not practice. Monday the center is available for practice all day starting at 11:00, Tuesday not available, Wednesday from 11:00 am- 4:00 pm. The fee is $3.00 a game or $14.95 an hr.
