USQRA National Championships announced

The United States Quad Rugby Association (USQRA) is pleased to announce that Birmingham, Alabama and Warm Springs, Georgia have been selected as sites for the 1999-2000 National Championships. In previous years, the USQRA has held one 12-team National tournament at the conclusion of each season. Beginning in April 2000, there will be two 8-team National Championships in order to accommodate the newly implemented "Division I and Division II" playing structure.

The Division I National Championship will be held on April 7th, 8th and 9th at the Lakeshore Foundation in Birmingham, Alabama. The eight teams that finish 1st or 2nd at their sectional championship will compete at this tournament. The winning team will receive the Mikkelsen Cup trophy for a one-year period, and shall be recognized as the Division I National Champions.

The Division II National Championship will follow on April 13th, 14th and 15th at the Roosevelt Institute in Warm Springs, Georgia. The eight teams that finish 3rd or 4th at their sectional championship will advance on to compete for the Division II title. The winner will receive a National trophy, and shall be recognized as Division II National Champions.

Tying together the two events, the USQRA's Annual General Meeting (AGM) will take place on Wednesday, April 12th at Roosevelt Institute. All members and interested parties are encouraged to attend.
