# What will I get for my money? <br />NASPA is a player-run organization committed to expanding the playing community by continually improving its services and your playing experience. If you have suggestions as to new services you would like to pay for, please contact our [[Membership Committee]]. As of now, buying a membership will show your support for the new organization, entitle you to play in sanctioned tournaments and have your achievements officially recognized, and you will receive a special low membership number.
# Should I renew my [[membership]] in the NSA? <br />You may do so if you want to continue to receive the NSA newsletter, but you do not have to do so to play in sanctioned tournaments. Currently, you may play in a tournament with either a NSA or NASPA membership.
# What if I just renewed my NSA membership runs out one month or so before NASPA takes over and I sign up with the NSA for a whole year, will . Do I get a prorated refund, or can I use my NSA membership to play in NASPA-sanctioned events? <br /> No. However, you will continue to receive the NSA newsletter for the remainder of your subscription, and but if you purchase an annual NASPA membership before July 1, 2009, it will be valid until the end of 2010, so you will have paid fees for two years of membership and received benefits for almost two years of membership.
# When will NSA clubs become NASPA clubs? <br /> July 1, 2009, if they pay a fee.
# Will the rules and lexicon change? <br /> The NSA [[Rules Committee]] and [[Dictionary Committee]] will be transferred to NASPA, and continue their work as usual. There will be regular updates to the Rules, and the [[Long List]] will be updated in the next few years.
