IHHPA/NHPA sanctioned leagues and tournaments are held throughout the year at locations around the state. ( Average of 50 tournaments a year )
A membership is required to be able to participate in these sanctioned events. After sending in your membership application you will receive a combined IHHPA/NHPA membership card that will include your individual sanction number for the current year. That number will continue to be yours as you renew your membership each year. (Jan.to Dec.)
This card entitles you to participate in NHPA sanctioned events throughout the United States and much of Canada when you present it and meet the entry requirements. The normal average entry fee in Iowa is $10 to $15. Scorekeeping fees are normally .50 cents a game and may be included in the entry fee.
