The Board for Medalist at PJ’s met. I’m not certain that it was the board, but the decision deadline was in front of them. Present were Andrea, Kevin, Duane (I’m sure they are Board members), Marcia from Vend Alaska (operator), and Joseph, Margaret & Dupes (members). Diving into the discussion, we tackled the matter at hand. There’s not enough money to buy every one a trip to Las Vegas. After going over how much money is available, the costs of airfare and the amount of players, here’s what was decided.

PJ’s Medalist League will reimburse $200.00 to the player. After proof of entry into the Medalist World Championships is confirmed. A group rate for airfare has been made at $540.00 per person; a minimum of 20 people is needed to secure this rate. It’s best to get this filled in as soon as possible, with airfare going up and gas prices the way they are, things won’t stay this good long. One more thing to keep in mind, if you receive the reimbursement and don’t fulfill your commitment to play, you will be banned from any reimbursement from the league for 2 years. This is new and long overdue in my opinion.
