Trials event information is available here:

Registration is not yet available, but I understand it is quite close, just pending event director approval.
The A-event App was delayed greatly due to the original Sprint map having permissions withdrawn, and HVO's struggles to get past that setback. I'm grateful that A-event sanctioning was allowed - (and surprised - I wouldn't have been at all surprised with a polite no from the committee.)
As for sanctioning just Red/Blue, this event is being put together relatively late, and to limit the scope of the event for the limited staffing available, the Team is focusing on ensuring the Red/Blue courses are up to A-event (and beyond) technical standards. We felt it would be a shame if these weren't OUSA rankable (as happened in 2010 when the thin staffing didn't even have time to assemble an A-event bid), hence this year's application for those courses.
I understand HVO is intending to host White-Green courses as well, at much lower fees, but without an attached A-event ranking.
Note that the Red/Blue A-event standard courses - Sprint, Long and Middle - will be open to Team Trialer and non-Team-Trialer registration, with standard Red/Blue courses (M-20 to M45+ & F-21+), for which there are relevant categories into which any men/women may enter (running 'up' if necessary) if A-event entry is preferred to the "B-event" White-Green courses.
Thanks in particular to HVO event director Guy Olsen, Team-inspiration for this event, Boris Granovskiy, and Course Setter Neil Dobbs without whom we'd have no chance of having this event being organized in some of the most France-WOC-relevant terrain in the US. Please support them in continuing to wrap up the organization needed to make the upcoming event successful.
