Hi Stephen,

Organizers simply use the application process as a safeguard to 'dis-allow' entry of a team or indivuidual 'in the event that' they deem the entry of that team would not be benneficial to the tournament as a whole. So, for an extreme example, if two well known poachers were to send in a form and payment we would have the opportunity to deny their application. We hope never to be in such a position and anticipate 100% of those 'applying' to fish the 2009 BPS Open will indeed be 'accepted'.

Those who have sent in their application forms and payments to that Aurora address should receive an email notice saying their application and payment has been received. In about 2 weeks a more comprehensive letter will be sent to all as well.

More annoucments will be coming but if you have any other specific questions - just ask here or U2U me.

Hope this helps Steve,

Wil
