I have been watching this post for a little while now. It seems to me that there are two reasons that we are still having to go through the state to purchase our cards. 1) To save $5.00 a card by not purchasing on the internet. 2) To make sure that not everyone can purchase a coaches card.

If $2.00 of every card is now going to an administrator, we will make $20,000 (if the figures previously stated are correct) by going online. Also if it is inevitable that we will be forced to the internet in the next 2-3 years, Why not now?

As far as making sure not everyone that wants a card can get one, does it really matter? At the state tournament you will need to have a USA card AND be on the coaches list provided by your club. Everyone who completes a Bronze clinic can purchase a card, that doesn't mean they can get on the floor at state.

I have to agree that it is time to allow those who want to, to be allowed access to purchase their cards online. If nothing else the option should be made available.
