Instructions for voting:
Voting is done through the NCPA College Club List. Each member school should go to
http://www.ncpapaintball.com/college/club-list . From here, find your school's state in the upper list, then click on it. This will take you to a list of schools in your state; click on your school. Next, click on the 'Edit Club Information' link, and log in with your APPA login information. If you cannot find your team's information, please e-mail us and we will get it for you.
Once logged in, visit the 'NCPA Voting' tab. You will be shown the list of current nominees; select your school's vote and click 'Submit Club Vote'. If no options are displayed to vote for, that means there are currently no people running for board members for your region. You should consider running!
