No more dancing at 3 a.m.
Due to many recent complaints regarding the professional events running well into the night, the PDF put forth a "point of discussion" at the NDCA. The PDF attended the meeting and lobbied hard, providing examples of pros and pro-am events that were still being danced at 1:30 am. In tandem with a parallel motion on the agenda the resulting rule was put in place that no first rounds may start after midnght.
