While it is generally assumed that the bulk of the participation in this forum will be from domestic manufacturers, all factories worldwide are welcome.

Until formal membership rules are established, there is but one requirement to be a member of this forum: participation in official USASBA events. Participation should take the form of a physical presence at the event, with both a display booth and a competitive factory team. If schedule and/or economics preclude this form of participation, then some form of cost-sharing will be acceptable.

There are many details to be discussed and agreed upon. One thing is clear: we all have been and are currently working towards the same goal -- the growth of our sport. Ultimately, the consumers will vote with their dollars. Lets work together to turn out the vote.

I look forward to working with you all. Please check back often as this site will be very dynamic.
