The newest version of the rulebook has been released. The copy at the salle will be updated tonight and you can get your own copy by downloading the .pdf document. You don't have to print it out but if you're thinking about competing, at least have it downloaded so you can look things up when the need (or curiosity) arises!
Pictures from a couple of this summers' camps have (finally!) been uploaded to the clubs' photo pages! There are a few new videos, too. If you have some pics or vid you'd like to share, just send them in!
