Reminder: All contestants at qualifying tournaments must have paid a one-time annual NTRA membership fee of $50 in order to be eligible to compete at the National Championship. Contestants may opt not to purchase the $50 annual NTRA membership, but they would then be competing in qualifying tournaments for prize money only at the qualifiers, and not for the available berths in the NHC Finals. NHC berths at a given qualifier will only be available to those who are paid NTRA members prior to the start of competition at a qualifying tournament. Please contact the NTRA directly if you have any questions or concerns regarding these stipulations at [email protected] or 859-422-2657.
