SUPER IMPORTANT MESSAGE
Dear Readers,
Can you please do me a favor and take this anonymous 90-second survey? We are in the process of selling in sponsors to support the CITIUS content plans for 2024 and this information enables us to keep growing the business. There are so many damn meets and we want to be covering all of them! But we need sponsors to do that because for better or worse, this is the best business model we could come up with.
