WHAT EVENTS CAN I GIVE BIDS TO?
Our main goal is to have every state represented at the UPA AmeriCup in Minneapolis. However, you may find a team who is more interested in other events, that is fine. Just indicate which events on the nomination form so we can input it into our computer. Keep in mind that the Pro Bowl Tour is only for individuals. If you award bids for this – you need to get the individuals name and home address (for all). The Capital One Bowl is a group/team event. The entire entourage can attend.

RECRUITING OF TEAMS
I know each of you will do an excellent job recruiting talented teams for our “Once in a Lifetime” events. Our standards are high as should be yours. Keep in mind however, that what you see now will be new, unpolished teams just getting together. If you have a gut feeling that the potential is there, then award the bid. The sooner they receive a bid, the sooner the can begin their fundraising programs.

All Regional Directors have a personal UPA email address which is forwarded to your normal email. All RD’s emails begin with the first letter and spell out the last name @upainc.net (ie: Ruth Smith would be rsmith@upainc.net).
