Team News Submission Guide

Team News Tuesdays cannot exist without your contributions

Please email team news and updates to updates@ncwsa.com with the following standard so that all updates can be easily sorted and sent off to the “Team News” NCWSA.com writer.  If the standard is not followed, collection may be hindered and this may delay the release of your team news. We are hoping for lots of updates, but we do not want to overwhelm any readers to the point of not reading; so if there is overwhelming amount of team news in a given week then the NCWSA.com writer may make a judgement call to delay the news until the following week based on the item’s time sensitivity.
