If you somehow can’t do Paypal or a check, message me privately. For example, if you are from out of
the United States and can’t pay me because of that factor, you are welcome to bring cash, but contact
me first so that we can arrange.
If you register for high stakes after June 20th, 2017, you must bring cash so that we don’t have to wait for
the check or online transfer to clear.
You must be in good standing with NASPA at time of event. NASPA collects $0.50/player/game, so part
of the budget is allocated towards paying the NASPA participation fees.
