<p class="v1MsoNormal">FYI,</p>
<p class="v1MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="v1MsoNormal">Virginia is pretty much a lock to become a super state and have 24 competitors.  When dropping players that are likely to play in Maryland or DC instead of Virginia, we might get down into the 30s.</p>
<p class="v1MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="v1MsoNormal">Rankings will be finalized by January 4<sup>th</sup> and invites will go out on the 5<sup>th</sup> with responses due by the 7<sup>th</sup>.  There are still some outstanding tournaments that have been submitted to IFPA but not updated yet in the rankings, so keep an eye out here for Virginia:</p>
<p class="v1MsoNormal"><a href="https://www.ifpapinball.com/nacs/2019/standings.php?l=VA" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://www.ifpapinball.com/nacs/2019/standings.php?l=VA</a></p>
<p class="v1MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="v1MsoNormal">The Virginia championship will be held in Richmond, Virginia this year at Taylor Reese’s home.  Due to 24 players, we will likely start earlier than normal around 12pm noon with doors opening around 11am for practice and check-in.  Host fee for food/snacks will be $10 / person and will be taken out of winnings so no need to bring cash.  The championship will take place on January 18<sup>th</sup>.</p>
