At the 2009 NIRSA Conference several actions were taken by the NSC Board and the NCCS Committee to address concerns about Flag Football Regional and National tournaments for the Fall of 2009.
First, concern was expressed about the entry fee and the percentage of revenue that was being used to support the national flag football budget -- that per team "royalty fee" that each host would pay. It has been decided that each regional host can set their own entry fee, as long as they contribute the per team fee as previously discussed. That "royalty fee" has been reduced from $75/team to $50/team for the fall 2009 season.
We have also been given 5 years, instead of three, to reach our goal of a balanced budget for flag football and basketball. Therefore, we will begin anew, in earnest, to identify a 5-year plan that brings us to that goals. We will be intentional about including hosts in our dialogue.
Announcements of our regional tournament hosts and their dates has been delayed as they review these new host criteria. As soon as we get committments from schools, we can announce our dates and locations for 2009.

Chad... and the NCCS. We really appreciate all the hard work you have put into a sustainable future for the Regional and National Tournaments. I know the NCCS Roundtable was a tough discussion, and thank you for listening to those that were present and taking the necessary action. We know you all only are trying to do what is best, but need to be mindful of the budget and finances. Thanks again and look forward to further agenda items.
