Subject: M.A.Regional Letter - 2 of 2

This is a copy of a letter I am mailing out to all team captains in
the Mid-Atlantic Region.  (Part 2 of 2)

6. Team Lists - enclosed are the latest updates.  Please continue
to keep me informed of changes.  (The Mid-Atlantic, thanks to all
of us, continues to have the most complete and up-to-date team list
of any region in the country).  But colleges, puleeze, get some
sort of PO Box, or school box (like the Student Activities Office,
or the Club Sports Office, or something).  When you don't, and you
move, your team gets stiffed as far as information goes.  (For
example, did you know that this is the second letter I've sent out
within the last five weeks?).  Additionally, I might try to include
'e-mail' addresses for teams in the future.  If someone on your
team has one, let me know at '70540.1522@compuserve.com'

7. College Notes:  The Mid-Atlantic did not receive a wild-card bid
for the 1993 College Series.  We actually had fewer teams compete
in 1992 than in 1991.
  
8. UPA Positions Opening - Four Sectional Coordinatorship positions
are now open (we hope to fill them by Labor Day):  Penn Section,
Md-DC-Va Section, N.C. Section, and the Women's North Section (NJ
& Penn).
     Additionally, all three Regional Coordinatorships are up for
grabs:  The College position is appointive.  The others are up for
election in late fall: Women's (Ann Carson is not running again);
and Open (I might run, and Eric Wenck might run). 
     As a team contact, you probably have your hands full, but
there must be people on your team that might fill the bill.  Please
share this information with your team.
     If you are interested in any of the above positions, give us
a call.

9. Tourney Info - In part, due to the early captains meeting, we
don't have a whole lot of tourneys scheduled yet.  The ones that we
do are listed below.  Please consider running a tournament
yourselves.  It doesn't have to be one of those bit 5-star deals,
it can be a small one-day four-team get together.  (That's one of
the main reasons why we send out the captain's list every mailing). 
Just get on the phone, and invite a coupla teams over for the day.

10. In summary - one of the main focuses at the meeting was to
encourage teams to play this fall, at tourneys and as part of the
Fall Series.  Part of the way to encourage play is to have lotsa
little tourneys.  Give it a try.  Another way is the creation of
Division II, and creation of a new Section.  I hope to see a record
number of teams competing in the Fall Series this year.
     Finally, I know that as a team contact you are pretty busy. 
But please take the time to share this with your team.  These
letters, along with the newsletter, is the only way we and the UPA
can keep the players informed.  You are the vital link!  

Have a great season - hope to see you on the circuit this fall!


                                   See you soon,
