Current Regional Affiliations
January 19, 2010
There are currently 7 regions affiliated with USADB before Dec 31, 2009 deadline:
SEAAD, MAAD, EAAD, NWDBA, SWBAD, FAAD
Since we are a player-based organization, we made a decision that may not sit well with some of you--but, we feel we are respecting the needs of the players. One new region has been granted provisional affiliation for 2010 tournament in order that the central area teams have a place to play under USADB. That new region is CBAD. This will need to be ratified at the HOD in order to continue affiliation past May 1, 2010. Any dissention between CAAD and CBAD will need to be resolved between the two regions. The central area teams/players must decide what is best for them.
Further developments for New England teams wishing to be part of USADB will be announced later.
