Event Notes
Competitor shirts:
When you register for Nationals you will be ordering your competitor shirt at that time. (they say Competitor on them)
We would like to give competitors the option to order more shirts and/or Holder shirts (they say Holder on them) so you will be given a one time code to cover the cost of ordering your competitor shirt.
If you would like extra competitor shirts or holder shirts you will be able to purchase those as well when you register. You will pick those up when you check in at Nationals. (we will NOT ship them)
Again this year we will have 2025 National Championship speciality gear (hoodies, zips etc) available by pre order only and for pick up at Nationals ONLY. We will not ship them.Preorders must be paid for at the time of purchase and MUST BE PICKED UP at nationals.
We will have a limited selection of NADD Merch & 2025 Nationals t-shirts & stickers available for sale at nationals.
