SPLITTING TABLES AT 20 BOWLS is NOW MANDATORY
Many Chief Judges have requested splitting tables at 20 bowls rather than at 25 so ICS has granted that request. Beginning with the 2011-2012 cooking season it is NOW MANDATORY that you split tables at 20, judging with 10 on each table and a finals table. Splitting the tables at less than 20 will NOT be allowed.

ATTENTION CHAIRMEN - THIS IS A MUST!
I have been getting numerous sanctioning applications (along with memberships, contestant lists, cooks rules, flyer info, etc) that are the old ones, most likely copied from year to year. PLEASE - use of those forms will cause considerable problems for me as well as cooks, especially when new cooks are given wrong information. I WILL SEND BACK ALL PAPERWORK THAT DOES NOT REFLECT THE NEW CHANGES and give you the new ones to sign and return. THROW AWAY ALL THE OLD FORMS AND USE THE NEW ONES!!
