Happy Tuesday athletes!
This is a bit of a long email but please take time to read it thoroughly. Our entry deadline was last Sunday and we are excited for a great two day event in Auburn on November 4th & 5th. The preliminary rosters are up on the website for review now:
Please review the roster to make sure you appear correctly in all the classes you intended to register for. If you would like to change classes or add an additional class, you may do so with no late fees through 10/31 on the entry form page.
I will be working throughout the week to update athlete info and and changes requested. PLEASE send any questions and requests via email (just click reply). We have a very hard time keeping up with messages via social media because of the volume right now.
CLASSES
Classes that say "(TBD)" may be divided into two or more height divisions after check-in. We will split classes as evenly as possible once everyone has measured in. If the final class size is small it will be run as one class only.
True Novice - To clarify for those who have asked, because both days are considered part of the same event sanction, those who compete both days may still enter True Novice on Saturday if they wish, so long as this is the first NPC event you've competed in.
Tickets for each event are available via the contest website. VIP tickets provide a premium reserved seat for both judging and finals. For finals, both Reserved Seating and General Admission tickets are available.
Athletes receive General Admission access for the day they are not competing. You do not require a ticket to attend.

For those unable to attend, we will have Livestream available again that provides real time video coverage of the entire event. Your friends can sign up now using the link below.

NPC CARDS
All athletes need a current NPC membership to compete. You can look yours up at www.npcregistration.com or can purchase one there if you have not done so already.
You will need to show a this on your phone or printed when you check in next Friday. Save a screenshot of your card in advance so it does not delay your check-in.
2022 cards are PURPLE. If your card is red, it has not been renewed for 2022.
