American Tournament

Cancelled

For reasons beyond SVAC's control, it was highly likely that this was going to be the last SVAC American tournament. However, SVAC have now been informed that they are loosing access to their range after the end of April 2024.
Therefore, SVAC has relucantly had to cancel this event.
SVAC apologises and will be contacting all those that have entered.
