No - they didn't get mad about it, but they did want me to close the room at 2 a.m. and due to the scheduling conflict with the two different events, things got behind. That won't be an issue this time because there will only be one event going on and anyone not at their table when their match is called will be given ample notice and then forfeited. This will ensure steady flow of the charts and of the tournament. I apologize for that last time - it won't happen again.
By the way, entries have already started flowing in. People are really excited about playing in the new C division! I'm getting players who have never played in a big tournament before because they couldn't even compete in the B division due to their ability (or lack of...). I'm very proud to be able to accommodate these players and hope their experience is a positive one.
People interested in getting entered in the event can download the entry forms right here - on this site - and fill it out and mail it either directly to me or to your league operator and they will most likely forward it to me at deadline time. Last time the B Division singles filled early and some weren't able to play in that division. I have a feeling that the C and B divisions will fill early this time so I encourage you to send it asap so you get your place in the tournament. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 507-210-7558 or e-mail
