im  in for a donation event, however join AOTY and that's an easy donation, you don't have to compete just pay the bill and sign up,

leave all the AOTY attitudes out of this discussion it has no bearing on getting money to help allen run the site.

OK.  I've set all bashfulness aside and put up a Paypal link in the left column down below the AOTY signup.  Through this discussion, I come to understand a couple things.

1) Some people prefer the anonymity of a donate button vs. just signing up to AOTY.
2) Some people have an aversion to anything that has the word "of" in it.   :smt005

How about I make it so you can't log into the site until you make a donation?   :smt003

For every 50 dollar donation to NCKA general operating fund I will waive the enrty fee for Albion for the first 50 people.  Not AOTY. Please write, Albion Free Ride, in the comment box so Allen can tell me who is on for this deal. Thanks for supporting NCKA and Albion Open. Craig

Really though, if a person doesn't scroll down it goes unseen.

Ok, I put it at the top of the left column.  I'll leave it up there for a week, then slowly move it down the column.  Heck, I may even put up a second one just to annoy Glen!   :smt005

Am I missing something?
Just checked the NCKA calender and there are NO events scheduled for August!!!! Seems like a perfect time to have a event on the coast somewhere :smt002 

Allen, 
Call me when you get a chance so we can discuss some of the ideas I pm'd you.

Wow! So many responses in so short a time. Short of a shark attack thread in may be a record!

The donate button is a start but in the long term we need something like an annual event fundraiser. Maybe any tourney with the NCKA name connected should add $5 to the entry fee to support NCKA.  I think that's fairer than Craigs way too generous Albion offer. Love ya Craig.  :smt008   That plus an upgraded store + AOTY / DOTY + ? could do it.
