United Poles Policy, worsens in May 08

Unread postby rainbowgirl28 » Thu Apr 10, 2008 2:15 am

This is bad news for us vaulters. It goes up to $100* and down to two poles! *It says "per pole"!!! It is a new rule this year...

We should look into shipping options from Denver.

Other information:
Allow an extra 30 minutes at check-in.

sounds like they are limiting it to two poles to keep the weight down. Yay, high gas prices! :no:
