Sensei
I have just received approval from East Ridge High School and Sanction from
the USJA National Office on the Fla. State Open Judo championship's for May 6th
2006.

Please double check entry forms. Any form that is missing information will
be considered late and a late fee added. The last tournament I had to make many
long distant phone calls to get Member Number's and birth dates.
I am looking forward to your help and support. If your club can run one of
the mat area's please let me know. The last time we held the states here in
Groveland. We had 199 competitors' in a tight gym. We now have a new sight East
Ridge High School with more room and will be using three full mat area's.
Also, note that the Host club will be giving away $1000.00 in cash award's.
Two Junior boy and two girls division's 1st place winner's with 5 or more
players will be drawn at the end of the tournament for the award. They will
void there prize if not present and in a GI. Only one prize per player.
If I can be of any help to you and your club please feel free to call.

respectfully,
William E Andreas
