Then at the last possible moment cancel, or even better have the bands pull out, and keep the fees! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just always found myself frustrated with US Bands/USSBA, mostly stemming from how they run their fall contests and their selection of what they consider qualified adjudicators. I suppose that leads me to not feeling surprised by much. Edited July 28, 2020 by Musicman1084 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose that leads me to not feeling surprised by much. especially for circuits that cover multiple states, it's a fine line to walk. in some places it's "what the #### are you waiting for?" and in others its "don't you ####### dare!" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
