Hello BD, Following a tradition of never getting all of the information into an event announcement...
Those who know the Copa also know that it's traditionally been what we called 'loose mixed'. The ffindr site didn't allow for the creation of an Elite Mixed division but only Elite Open and Open. It is still a loose mixed event. So find some loose men and some loose women and bring them along for the party. Sorry for any confusion this may have caused.
