Update (Jan 21st 9:50PM): 

Based on the demand, we opened a new Amateur Level for 'not-so-professional' players and will have them compete as a sepearate group (at a different time, 10AM). Please note that this new level is only going to be there is there are at least 4 or more teams in that level. Amateur Level winners will get the Trophy/ Medals, but no cash prize. A team is qualified as Amateur if none of the team members have a USATT rating of more than 1400 and must have a combined rating that's less than 2500. If you have any questions, please send me an email to admin@a2msports.com or text me at 678-654-3778.
