2010 Changes for PSP and Phoenix Open Date

For the 2010 season, PSP has decided to make some changes:

1.) Events will now be 3-day events, Friday-Sunday except for Chicago Open and World Cup which will be 4-day events, Thursday-Sunday

2.) a. Classification will be done differently. A player is no longer forced to bump his/her APPA classification status if he/she has played in a higher division for 2 events. Class promotion is now based on performance.
b. Older events count less to a player’s APPA status

3.) a.Entry fees are now based on format of play (i.e. Race to 5 or Race to 7) and not by division (i.e. Div4 or Div1). Depending on which format your team plays, is how much your entry fee will be.
b. ” Prizes will also be distributed with greater emphasis towards rewarding teams choosing to compete in higher divisions.” I guess this means the prize winnings will be increased but that makes me think that the entry fees will be higher.

RoF for each division will remain the same for the 2010 season

The first event of the season for PSP will be the Phoenix Open on March 19-21, 2010 at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, AZ.

Registration for the Phoenix Open begins on January 19, 2010.

Keely Leaves PSP

“Hi,

This isn’t an easy email to write. After 5 years with PSP, I have decided to move on and pursue other interests.

I wanted to write and say what a great opportunity it has been working in this industry and with people like you. I’m grateful for all the experiences I’ve had and friends I have made along the way. I have truly enjoyed all my time with PSP.

Thank you for answering emails, attending events, and generally supporting PSP over the past years. Feel free to contact me anytime at (removed private email). I wish you all the best going forward as the New Year approaches.

Please direct all future PSP communications to Lane Wright at [email protected].

Happy holidays and thanks for everything!

Keely Watson “
