Anybody know what happened to this? It was supposed to take place the same week as Dean went by. Did it get re-scheduled?

Dear Ultimate Diver Challenge Shops, Clubs & Participants:
As most of you know from talking with me --- most of you are requesting more time to work and build your teams. After a few new developments, we have decided that the event this summer will be preliminary. Having a preliminary event will allow you the time and a peak at the various components of the challenges so that you can prepare your divers. The mock challenges will provide your divers with answers to many of the questions related to the roles that each diver will have as part of a team without the pressure of becoming the first Ultimate Diver Team.
Another great advantage to having a preliminary event is to provide our filming crew an opportunity to shoot a pilot film. This pilot is needed to secure a larger cable network for broadcasting purposes. Although, we do have two networks that are willing to broadcast this summer -- I am confident that if we allow a preliminary event to be held that we will secure the BIGGER ones. This is something that our sport and our industry deserve and need.
And Last, I have been marketing this event for the past year and not to my surprise -- I am constantly finding out that divers still do not know about this event. We need another solid year of strategic marketing that will assist each of you in creating your teams. I have some very exciting developments that will allow this to happen -- bigger sponsors and financial support that will provide a backbone for the success of this event.
Below you will see the pricing and flyer information that you can use to put together your fun diving teams for this years preliminary event. Your divers will enjoy the many prizes that will still be awarded while participating as they prepare to compete in next years 2008 Ultimate Diver Challenge.
The dates for 2008 and pricing will be announced very shortly!
