Hello competitors,
Hope your healthy and safe.
Unfortunately, we’ve been notified by many REGISTERED athletes recently that are experiencing COVID type symptoms or have COVID. Also, just this week we have been notified by the venue we would NOW have to put in place precautionary measures for the event. Such as mask and some form of screening etc due to the increase and concerns of new COVID variants NATIONWIDE.
So, because of the above information and the low turnout of registered athletes remaining we have no choice but to POSTPONE the event until next year.
As a former competitor myself and current judge, I understand the work that goes into prep better then most. I also feel it would be truly unfair to you to proceed with the event with this current turnout minus the affected athletes and change of restrictions at the venue.
What I would like to do for you immediately is ONE of the following;
1.. A complete refund immediately by request via paypal or…
2. Push your entry to the NPC Battle of Champions event on Nov 13th in Desmoine Iowa. We ALSO would be willing to give you a FREE additional class for your troubles. This would be a great opportunity for you as we have a full NATIONAL judging panel at this event which will be at Nationals. So, it would be a great opportunity for feed back one week before Nationals!!!! It should be mentioned that this event is a 100% a go with no restrictions as its in a private hotel in a private meeting space which prevents any mandates.= No restrictions or concerns!! Or….
3. Push your entry to any other event we have in 2022!
In closing, please advise what you would like to do. And, we are sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused you . We are completely heart broken over this. The pandemic has caused issues for us all in certain parts of the country.
Looking forward in hearing back and hope to see you in Iowa!
