Can you please provide further information on the 2nd and 3rd bullets under “Who needs to attend the Calgary Trials?” as the selection process document does not explain this. Thanks
Thanks for updating/clarifying.
Thanks for updating/clarifying. One more question. The selection document still indicates that the times obtained at the time trials is what will be used for seeding purposes. Is this still the case?
Yes. The only thing that was changed is the fees.
