The way I see it, is if he needs to re-qualify, then there would be no need to pay for the 2010 season. If he doesn't need to re-qualify, then he would. When I re-qualified, it was because I was jumping from junior to senior category, so my qualifications no longer counted.

If you do need to re-qualify, it stinks, because you won't be able to compete until 2012 because of how OPA sets up the provincial show in fall. Ever since they moved the provincial show to fall, I had to stop competing in it because it would just never make sense in my competing plans. I would never want to do a show, and then do another 6 months later. ah well, regular nationals next!
