Option 2
If you are a new player to USAV/Yankee (no previous USAV membership in our region), you do not need to pay the PayPal entry fee. Instead you will purchase a single event USAV membership for $30 (which can later be upgraded to full membership). If you think or know you will play in another Yankee tournament prior to the scramble you are signing up for, you should wait to do this and likely will use Option 1 above. You will still need to follow steps 1-5 below to get your name on the list and the tournament director will follow up with you about payment/membership a few weeks before the tournament. Go to http://yankee.org/memberships/membership-application. Follow the instructions there to purchase a $30 single event membership. MAKE SURE THAT YOU PICK THE START DATE TO BE THE FRIDAY BEFORE THE TOURNAMENT YOU WANT TO PLAY IN!!!! It will be valid for both days of the weekend of the scramble if you end up playing in another tournament that weekend. Again, if you will be playing in a tournament prior to the scramble tournament date then you should use Option 1.
After you purchase the membership, please complete the following:

Nationals/US Open Ratings:
**New since 2023 USAV Open Nationals** Yankee is no longer limiting rosters based on individual player ratings. However we are advising to use our previous Rating Restrictions to determine the proper level of competition for your team. The US Open are the same as Regionals for single gender tournaments (see below) except there is no minimum required for the US Open.
Nationals Coed and Reverse Coed Conversions:
Please contact Jeffry Powell with questions about ratings.
Player Memberships:
All Players need a full season membership – a Single Event Membership is not accepted.
Out of Region Players:
You can bring out of region players on your team. However, the roster still needs to be approved by the Ratings Committee, so it is best to have that player play if possible a few times in the NERVA Region to ensure the team fits within the Rating’s limits. A team needs to be at least 50% from the region they are entering from. For Roster updating on AES, you will need their USAV number which they have through their region’s membership system. Any additional questions please see the Open Nationals Manual on their website or reach out to Jeffry or Judy with further questions.
Regionals Rating Guidelines:
**New since 2023 Nationals, there are no more restrictions, please use our previous restrictions as guidelines to which division your team should be competing in. Any Yankee run USAV Format tournament run in the Spring of 2023 during this change still adhered to these rating restrictions**
