2017-2018 PAPA Circuit Event Majors and Minors revealed!

The votes have been tallied! The surveys have been surveyed.

What’s a major? What’s a minor? (Hopefully you saw that from the link on this morning’s post.)

Is your favorite Circuit Event among the first round to carry the honor of being a Circuit Event once again?

(Mine are! – Well, many that are driving distance away from me. The Black Hole will be coming for you all again next year! MWA HA HA HA!!!)

Five more Circuit Events will be added from the last chance vote that is coming up.

CORRECTION: There are no such things as “minors” in this system. The proper nomenclature is that there are Circuit Events, and then there are Major Circuit Events. Thanks to @bowenkerins for the correction. #Journalism
