If you are a member of the IFPA (e.g., if you paid your registration fees at Worlds this year, or otherwise joined IFPA during the open registration period at Worlds), and if you haven't already received materials from me with respect to voting in the first annual election of the Elected Board of Directors, please write me a private message immediately so I can get you the voting materials. If you are an IFPA member and did receive the voting materials, but have not yet voted, please do so before Sunday evening. The poll closes at midnight California time on Sunday night (Nov. 18). If you are not yet a member of IFPA, please stand by. We will be opening registration for the general public very shortly. Watch for an announcement soon. Thanks. Steve P.S. For anyone who is confused as to what IFPA is -- it's the newly-formed International Footbag Players' Association. At present, it is made up of over 150 footbag players around the world, primarily in the U.S., Canada, Finland, Germany, Denmark, and Switzerland. More information is available at http://ifpa.footbag.org/ if you're curious.
