DISCUSSION & DECISION
4- Online Pre-Entry’s Registration instead of registering on the same day of tournaments proposed by Javid originally,
Javid suggested there needs to be deadline date of at least day or a couple days before the tournaments to have enough time for seeding the all-registered players.
Doing it in the same day of tournaments is not a good idea. They need email or contact only the tournaments Directors, not everyone on the SDTTA Board.
