I really enjoyed this tournament last time in January. And we had Christian Stevens out to challenge Mike Ivanov for first. Hopefully we can get some more strong players out this time and a good turnout overall. Guaranteed good time as its well run, there is lots of cameraderie and good eating places near by.

When I saw that I was seeded number 3, I knew there was a error.
No way my rating is higher than the great & mighty Gash Man.

Oops, my rating s/b 1686.....I will look into that.

Bye the way, I had to split this weeks update into two batches.
The second update will be up by 11am tomorrow.

Sorry Lee about the extra work
