The field is starting to fill in. Also, please note that Fenton will also be using IS-82A for their JV division, at Illinois State NAQT.

Correction: Illinois' NAQT State on 3/7/09 is using IS-85; I'm not aware of a JV NAQT at Fenton. Mike?

For some reason I thought I saw a note somewhere on naqt.com. I am mistaken; Set 82A will not be used at Illinois NAQT State, for a JV division or otherwise.
