NS Team Bulletin #2

Registration for the Nationals begins!

Following the guidelines from Bulletin #1, if you qualify to play in the Nationals, send an email requesting a registration form to our Nova Scotia Team Coordinator, Cynthia Boutilier.

To know how many participants or teams can qualify for each event, visit the National Games website events page. Under each event, you can click on the tab “Rules” to know how many participants or teams can register for each event.

If gold or silver medal winners who have qualified to go to the Nationals are unable to participate, bronze medalist or any other participant in the Provincial Games or any other Nova Scotian can then qualify.

If you do not qualify for an event that you participated in at the Provincials, you could still play an event in Quebec that was not offered in Pictou. So, check out all the events happening in Quebec!
