As in previous years, DOCNA will again offer a Western and an Eastern Championship
(competitors can enter either), with the hope of adding a Midwest and Southern
championships in the future. Understanding that not everyone can take multiple days to travel
or incur airline and large hotel bills, DOCNA would like to offer a championship
where everyone can have a chance to play.
The Eastern Championships will be held in Stephentown, NY, with assistance from the
host club Sugarbush Farm. The Western Championships will be held in Grand Junction, CO.
Both locations will be held outside on Grass.

of the locations they wish to enter. In doing so, the competitor realizes there
may be differences in surface, and weather conditions, including but not limited
to (wind, rain, sun, heat, etc).
