2.) Teams that qualify for a National Championship and do NOT wish to attend MUST let the Sports Director know IN WRITING no later than 8 days after the District qualifier.  If notice is NOT given the coach/team/club in question will NOT be extended an invitation during the next AAU season since they deprived another team from attending a National Championship event.
