MWC early bird registration

[Kristine Houtman]

Last Wednesday, January 4th we began our early bird registration window. This window is open until Friday January 27th at Noon.

So...for just a week's worth of responses; I'd say the MWC is looking pretty good for next year. We have 75 Central teams and 17 East teams. We only had 14 MWC East teams for early bird last year. So that's growing. And we still have two more weeks of registration.

Codes are as follows:
SV=Spring Valley
BDN = Bay de Noc
LC = Lake City
DR = Detroit River/Lake Erie
HH = Henderson Harbor
SB = Saginaw Bay
DL = Devil's Lake
Challenge Team means they have picked up a 4th tournament.
Walleye Madness! means they have signed up to be seeded in the bracketed tournament planned for 2007.

Kristine, this is great news thanks. Hopefully the east will keep sending in more early birds and it can become a viable big time circuit. I still haven't seen the names of three teams I expect to be sending in entries for the east.

Kristine,

I hope to see the number of East Earlybird entrants continue to grow. It's good to see new teams signing up, as well as teams returning from last year. I also know of a couple more teams that are planning to commit for the entire circuit. Continued growth will lead to the MWC East becoming a huge success!
