SKI-O-RAMA:
Let's hit the slopes! Let us know when/where you want to ski/ride and
we’ll make it happen. Many of us have season passes to various resorts, so we
can get you heavily discounted buddy-pass lift tickets. We can do trips both
before and after the tournament, so plan your travel accordingly.
ADDITIONAL
DETAILS:
The Carmody pool is 6.5-7.5 feet, surfaced with Oyster Quartz (a fine-grained
aggregate finish). The lane-lines, center spot, penalty shot, and 5-and-2
markings are done in 2-inch tiles, and the interfaces between the tile and the
Oyster Quartz are flush and smooth. Our brass pucks are positively “lively” on
this bottom.
All
standard USOA-sanctioned tournament rules will apply (ear/mouth-guards,
Minnesota rule, etc.). All 2010 USOA dues and waivers should be taken care of
through USOA *prior* to your arrival in Denver. There will be a $10 late fee
for paying/signing at the tournament. The 2010 USOA waiver is currently
available for download from the USA UWH website: http://www.usauwh.com/ . For
USOA payment questions, please contact Wendy Okafuji at Wendy_Okafuji@usauwh.com
