General Info

We are excited to host state, and welcome teams to our beautiful community.  Our November tournament was so successful, we are once again hosting  at the larger (and newer) middle school.  We are running Elementary and Middle School events side by side in the same facility with the same agenda (approximately). We are also offering , Think, and Volunteer of the Year awards. I will send out a nomination form for Volunteer of the Years so keep that in mind.

 

Since it is State we are attempting to keep things as neutral as possible. Our trophies and medals are special and say Missouri not Reeds Spring. Our "choose your own prize" raffle is open to all teams (feel free to make multiple themed sets that can be raffled at $1 per chance. Every ticket put in your basket is 100% given to your organization). Their will be a large 8x7 banner for photo oppportunities, and we encourage each organization to provide at least one judge and one ref.

It will be a two day format, but Friday isn't required. Friday 4:30 - 8:00 is for check-in, inspections, and skills. (Trying to arrange a team dinner from a sponsor Friday)  Those that cannot make it Friday can still check-in, get inspected and do skills on Saturday. We have discounted lodging at lakeside resorts (2 night minimum) so we plan on having school buses that will take you to local events after the tournament ends on Saturday. (TBD)

(We do have several lakeside cabins available at a discounted rate for anyone wanting to make a mini vacation out of our event) Look in the travel section for links

Thanks,

Please email or call if you have any questions and/or need any accomodations for anyone.

 

In the event of inclement weather, we will notify everyone by Thursday, February 23rd and the reschedule date is the following weekend 3/3 and 4th.
