2 questions...is there going to be a novice or amateur class? I will be 18 at the time of the tournament, but will be turning 19 in october. Will i be allowed to sign up for the junior division?

Hey Mike,
First to answer question 1, there is no novice and/or amatuer class at Unified Nationals. Open Only aside from the age division classes (Youth and Masters)
However, the USAA Nationals in Reno, NV has both novice and amatuer classes (in May)
Also the AAA Nationals in San Antonio, TX (in June) has novice class but no amateur.
As to question 2, I will let Denise and Leonard chime in here as to whether your age is calculated as of the tourney or the end of the year 2010 because I am not sure.
