Rally Updates

When sending in your Rally Packets, APDT strongly suggests using Federal Express or UPS with a tracking number. Please be sure to waive "signature required" to ensure timely delivery. Any packets received after the deadline date will be charged a late fee of $100.

May 24, 2007 Updates

APDT Rally has been able to maintain the administrative fee charged to trial hosts of $1.00 per entered team since our inception in 2001.  However, the recent postal service rate increase has resulted in a minimum 55% cost increase to APDT Rally in mailing title certificates.  As a result, effective June 25, 2007 the administrative fee will be increased to $1.50 per entered team. 

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

Linda Sperco
