Units will be required to perform certain tasks to receive their Unit rebate, and will have a chance to increase their rebates based on the future change in their membership. These tasks include welcoming new members and contacting members who did not renew their membership. Starting with the San Antonio summer 1999 NABC entry fees for all non-members and unpaid LMs will be increased. Charity events and events limited to players with less than 20 mps are exempt. For all Sectionals and Regionals beginning after July 1999, the sponsoring organization is urged to charge at least the above mentioned increased fees at Regionals and Sectionals.
Eligible media are radio, TV, newspapers, magazines, direct mail, and flyers.
Advertisements must meet certain specifications. After the Summer NABC this process will be reviewed.
