Let's try this again... Interested schools can register by e-mailing 
tournament director Joshua Hill at jdh22 (at sign) uark dot edu with 
contact name, school, and number of teams attending.  Schools can 
also contact assistant tournament director Lynn Endicott at lendico 
(at sign) uark dot edu.

Thanks,
