We, the undersigned Professional Players of the National Dodgeball League, hereby state to the Commissioner and Organization our intended non-participation in the 2014 National Dodgeball League Dodgeball World Championships due to the imposed restriction by the Organization against the participants of the Elite Dodgeball Invitational.

We further state that the Organization has failed in recognizing and applying the ideas and feedback of the supporting dodgeball community, resulting in the Organization consistently losing significant Professional and Amateur player participation and interest each continued year of operation.

We assert and assure that Elite Dodgeball has never dissuaded players from participating in National Dodgeball League events, nor has Elite Dodgeball ever sought to derail or otherwise damage the National Dodgeball League's presence.

We appeal to the Commissioner and Organization to remove the restriction upon the Professional Players, and to re-evaluate and re-establish the National Dodgeball League's stance towards the dodgeball community.
