Five entries will be drawn at the convention, each entry drawn will receive $100.  You are eligible to win more than one time.

    

2. Within each of the five teams there is a competition between the chapters for the most points earned by signing new members.

   The following rules apply on how to score points within each team.

3. Top performing UPMA Chapter Team determined by the highest point total of all chapters within each team divided by the number of chapters in the team.
