Please note that the entries for the Rocky Mountain Classics were scheduled to close on Tuesday July 20th, and we thank all of you that did enter by this date. With the summer schedule so busy here in Alberta, we have already fielded numerous phone calls from people asking for extensions, so we are allowing entries up until August 1st for the three RMC tournaments. We already have north of 400 entries for the first two tournaments, so if you are planning to attend, please send in your entries ASAP as we could end up closing entries should we reach capacity.

With the great efforts of exhibitors with their entries thus far this year, we will continue to reward exhibitors for getting their entries to us on time.

A late fee of $200.00 will be assessed to entries not received on time.
