How Much Do I Pay?

If you want to attend the whole event, It's just $10-00 for current SAGA Inc. members. And it's $12-00 for non SAGA Inc. members. But you get a $2-00 discount if you fill out and send in a registration form before June 24th.

OR;

If you plan to attend by the session, the fees are; $5-00 per session played for SAGA Inc. members, $6-00 per session if you are not a SAGA Inc. member. But still get a $1-00 discount for filling out and sending in the registration form before June 24th.
