We are contractually obligated to a few things and we weren't going to drop the Al Smith or our own invite...that being said there's more than one way to skin a cat--we were able to get into an individual tournament where our kids will be pushed in a similar way they're pushed at the Al Smith..I couldn't pass up on that, but because of that, If we're voted into team state we will have to do even more flipping and flopping , but our intent is to perform well enough to be put into team state for sure! We love the event!!!
