Dave do you know if the new ball will be used in the Northern Championship's in Lansing?

Question already answered. you must have missed it

[1] The "new" ball is now the "official" ball and will be used in all except two events on our annual tournament calendar ... We are obligated by contract with our partners LVSSA to use "The Rock" ball for the LVSSA/SSUSA World Masters and LVSSA/SSUSA Southwest Championships events ... The three remaining other events on the 2018 Season schedule, the Southern, Northern and Rocky Mountain Championships will use the new ball ...

[2] We may initially restrict sales for immediate availability, or limit quantities, to ensure the demand for our Tournament consumption isn't compromised by those outside sales ...
