Change to Working Event Entry Process
| The NCA board voted that all NCA working events will set an opening date for NCA members to send their entries 10 days before the regular opening date. All entries received postmarked on the regular opening date or after that date will be handled equally whether the entrant is an NCA member or not. If a non-NCA member sends an entry with a postmark before the regular opening date they will have to send a new entry/envelope postmarked with a date after the regular opening date.
