          Attendance Update: 
           
          
          We are full, pending 
          receipt of any remaining on- time registrations that may still be in 
          the mail or any cancellations. 
          
          Check to see if your name 
          is on the list of 
          Participants and in the correct category. 
          
          If your name is not on the 
          list of Participants, we have not received your registration. 
           
          
          If your registration is 
          postmarked by March 19 and your name is not on the list please email 
          me at 
          info@arizonacup.com 
          
          If your registration was 
          postmarked after March 19, do not purchase non-refundable travel 
          arrangements until you get confirmation that you have a shooting spot. 
          
          If  your name is 
          already on the list and your are unable to attend, please let us know 
          immediately so we can process a refund or partial refund and then 
          assign your spot to the next person in line.  Thanks

          Tournament Shirt Update:
            
          
          
          Thanks to our AAE sponsorship and Arizona's own Antigua®: 
          
          
          Shirts have been upgraded to a high quality 
          Antigua® brand shirt in their Desert Dry™ fabric with embroidered 
          tournament logo.  Men's style will be a polo style and women's 
          style is a partial zip up tunic.  Both in short sleeves. 
          
          
          There is no silk 
          screening, so there will be no archer names on the shirt back this 
          year.  If those of you who pre-purchased a tee shirt would like 
          to cancel, that is okay, but we hope that you will love these shirts 
          when you see them.  We are honoring the $20 pre-purchased tee 
          shirt price, but they will be sold at the field for $25/shirt.  
          (Note these shirts retail for around $65 in shops) 
          
          
          We will also have 
          embroidered hats this year.
