ONLINE MEMBERSHIP
The AVP is now partnered with Major League Baseball Advanced Media (MLBAM). The exciting new partnership is expected to bring many enhancements to the AVPNext program for player and is expected to bring exciting changes to the AVP web site (www.avp.com has a whole new look, be sure to check it out). MLBAM is also going to serve as the AVPNext online registration provider.

With this change it is necessary to switch to a two-tier membership for 2007 which is as follows:

Online membership-$10
Offline membership-$15 if you pay at the tournament site

The reason for this is to encourage players to sign up online in order to ease some of the workload and speed up the process of getting members their confirmation information.

Any payments received after March 19 are subject to the new pricing structure. Also realize that we are going to send an email to previous AVPNext members directing them to the link to sign up for AVPNext registration.
