Interleague
It was unanimously agreed that prize money for Interleague teams is to be done away with as it was agreed the prestige of your League competing in the event is the main purpose of the event. Entry fees will go towards the NIPA paying for the tables to hold the 2 days of competition in a Hotel with a large room where all the tables will be in the one room so as to create the best atmosphere rather than a split venue. Hotels to be contacted immediately to see what is available.
