1. We will add the new event to your child's other Invitationals event(s).
2. If the new qualifying event at Divisionals gives your child more than three qualifying events, please come find me if your child wants to remove a previous selection and replace it with the new event.

It's been a pleasure being your Team Coordinator this season. You are a dedicated and supportive group of individuals. I've enjoyed getting to know all of you and hope your kids have had a great season on Red Team!
