If you have prior approval of a script from a STOA-sanctioned tournament and have not changed the script AT ALL, submit that approval email to our script submission email above no later than 6:00 pm CST, Monday, January 27th, 2025.
You will receive a confirmation email once your script has been received and approved. Please save a copy of this confirmation email on your phone or print it out to have with you at the tournament.
All scripts must be submitted by the deadline above to avoid being dropped from your registration resulting in a charged drop fee for that event.
