LOL maybe a little bit of both.

Is the NM/Plains Texas Cup official... I saw a proposal a few weeks ago but don't know where it is going toward and what is going on with it yet..

Does anyone?

[Jay Young]

Chuck is heading it up in our division. Direct all questions to him.

[Chuck]

I have been working out the New Mexico side of this with Toby Tolley and Andy Carey for the last couple of weeks. I have been updating the Plains Texas Division website at www.plainstexasdivision.com with the PROPOSED guidelines of the Cup for the last few weeks. We are down to just a couple of things that need to be decided between the two divisions and then we will be able to publish the final guidelines.

The Plains Texas - New Mexico Cup is going to happen. I anticipate that the two divisions will make an official announcement within the next few weeks. I am heading up the Plains Texas side and Andy Carey is heading up the New Mexico side of things.

Great, thanks for keeping the local coaches in the loop... I'll be watching here for updates and information and I'll be watching the Plains Texas Site. Everyone else that is interested should do the same:

The second competition of the Plains Texas - New Mexico Cup is complete but the results of the Nick Toth Memorial Fencing Tournament have not yet been posted on Ask FRED. I will update the points list when the final standings are posted. In the meantime, if anyone has all the results, please send them to me and I can update the points.

(For those who might wonder - yes, a Colorado tournament is part of our Plains Texas - New Mexico Cup competition. The New Mexico Division chose the Nick Toth as their third event.)
