players, in addition to their Regional Tour dues. This is a $10 discount! Players electing not to pay the
WPBA due will still be allowed to play on the Hunter Classics Tour, however they will not be able to
participate in the qualifiers, earn semi-pro points, and will not be
eligible for any WPBA prizes or activities until they are a paid member.
All Hunter Classics stops are
qualifiers for WPBA ( www.wpba.com )
