About the Web Site

Welcome to the "new improved" Gov. Cup Site
This web site was redeveloped from the ground up in March 2006 with the goals of making it as easy as possible to find information quickly and to update it's behind-the-scenes programming to meet modern web design standards that allow it to load fast, have a consistent appearance, look good on screen, print well, and be easily updated. The new design replaces one that was in place since 2001.
With the relaunch of the site for 2006 we have also moved the site from the old address (long and hard to remember) http://www.dnr.sc.gov/etc/govcup/govcup.html to its new address http://govcup.dnr.sc.gov/. Please adjust your Favorites and Bookmarks accordingly. This move also brings the Governor's Cup web site under the SCDNR's new domain name.
I hope everyone likes the new format. If you have any comments or questions about the web site's design or technical details please email or call Tim Snoots (this sites Webmaster). For questions or comments about the content of this web site such as standings updates or information you believe may be incorrect, please contact us.
