Deadline for script submission corrections: Monday, February 5th, 6:00 PM CST. If your script requires corrections, it must be corrected and approved by this date.

If you have prior approval on a script from a STOA-sanctioned tournament and you have not changed the script AT ALL, you may submit that approval email to our script submission email no later than 12:00 noon CST, Monday, January 29, 2024.

All scripts must be submitted by the deadline above to avoid being dropped from that event and charged drop fees. 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.
