    Looking at the prize money , seems to be a very generous payout.

    Mark the date and give it a good consideration.

    Cheers

      The tournament coming up in about 3 weeks time.

      Mark the date and sign up. There doesn't seem to be any tournament in GTA area around that date so why not make a trip to Buffalo and play a game there ?

        10 more days to go.

        Last year, both sections were won by Canadians and all the kids that went there were happy kids....:)

        I heard that quite a number of Canadians have signed up so probably we can go there and win again....
