Here are some resources for directors to help them do their job. If you need something that isn’t listed below, please let us know and we’ll add it.
There is an online group (naspa-tcd) where sanctioned directors discuss questions and issues with other directors, including hearing what they have to say about all facets of organizing and running sanctioned NASPA clubs and tournaments. We encourage you to join it.
See also the Player Resources page for scoresheets and other player-related forms and links.
We are continuing to compile a director list and a Club roster. If you are a director who has not yet submitted information about yourself and/or your club, please download our director questionnaire and submit it to Mary Rhoades.
