The National’s Committee has come up with a plan that will pay for a portion or all of players entry fee into the 2010 National Tournament. The basic concept is that players will solicit their local businesses (feed store, tack store, fence supplier, vet., barn builder, farrier, chiropractor, etc…) and get a sponsorship that will go towards their registration and horse fees. Players will collect a business card from the business and they will then submit the card to the APA for publication on our website for one year and the nationals program. The business will get a little advertisement and also help support players that support their business. The cost of a business card sponsor is $40 per business card. Entry fees for adult players will be $160 plus a $40 horse fee for a total of $200 per adult player. The horse fee is a one-time cost no matter how many horses you bring to Nationals. Players are encouraged to bring backup horses and all teams are required to bring umpire horses. If an adult player obtains 5 business card sponsors (5 cards x $40.00 = $200) their entry and horse fees will be covered in whole... any more ads and you have fuel money too! For junior players the entry fee is $120 with no horse fee. If a junior player collects 3 business card sponsors then their entry fees will be covered. If a player is willing to do the leg work and hustle business card sponsors it is essentially a free ride to participate in our national tournament! Prior to registering for Nationals (registration begins August 15 and ends September 15), players that want to participate in this program need to solicit local merchants to obtain the business card sponsor. Players will be responsible to collect the $40.00 and the company business card. You keep the money....Just be honest and send in the ads. All ads are due by September 20th. |
