Registration Extended through Monday, August 2nd!

PSP Mid-Atlantic Open August 13 – 15, 2010

After speaking with many players who are needing their August 1st paycheck to finalize payment for MAO Team Registration and ID Cards, PSP has decided to extend the final registration deadline for the PSP Mid-Atlantic Open to the end of Monday, August 2nd. We hope this gives each of you a bit of breathing room and allows you to focus on practicing for the MAO this weekend instead of stressing over getting your funds in on time.
