Certificates for USA competitors were mailed May 5, 2006. Those USA competitors who finished in the top three among all USA competitors in their category should expect their certificates to arrive within about one week of that date. 

Medals for the medalists who missed the award ceremony were also mailed May 5 and should arrive at the same time as the certificates. Please let the organizers know if certificates or medals are not received by May 12, or if they arrive damaged.
