This is an update regarding the Oklahoma residents and participation in the USAW Kansas Kids State Championship Tournament Series.

On Friday, February 25, 2011 several members of the Executive Council were served with a demand letter from an attorney in Hugoton, Kansas, retained by the parents of several Oklahoma residents, requesting the Executive Council reconsider our position and to allow the participation of these athletes in our Championship Series.

On March 3, 2011 the attorney obtained a restraining order against USAW Kansas Kids. The restraining order prevented the exclusion of several of the Oklahoma participants.

USAW Kansas Kids, Inc. has retained counsel in Stephens County, Kansas to represent the Executive Council and defend our interest.

I have forwarded a PDF file of the Demand Letter and Restraining Order to be posted to the website.

I will keep all informed as warranted as developments occur.
