This just in....

Adv. Men winner will take home an Innova DisCatcher Sport donated by Lavone Wolfe!!

Thank you!

Wish I could make this- Addie and the Rocket City Chang Gang put on an AWESOME tournament last year!

Thanks Tammy!

We have such a great group of people here...that's what it takes to put on a great event...team work!!!!

Wish you could be here, too. Hope to see you soon!

Hey Addie, I'm still working on getting back to Huntsville for this one! Not sure if I'm bringing your car or not, but I can promise you that If I do make it...I will bring a bottle or two of that rum!!!

Keep your fingers crossed and try to save me a slot. I will know more within the next week or so.

Thanks!!!

Sounds great! We'd love to see you again! ...but don't worry...I won't be playing this time so your game is safe! :D

Great!!! :D Looks like I just figured out what I am doing that weekend. Can't wait to play in Huntsville, I have only heard great things.

Now I'm sad.... Why aren't you playing?

She is tired of getting beat by Am's. :D

Actually, I can sympathize with Addie. The Blast is too big of a tournament to run and play. My little C-tier will be hard enough. Remember the troubles Chris J. ahd with the AAO? The blast has twice that many people.

I really love running events. It's fun to see the other side of the fence for a change. I thought I'd miss not playing but I just love the game so much that just having ANYTHING to do with it is enough for me!! :)


David,
Glad you are gonna try and make it! We'd love to have you. Spread the word in Atlanta for me!!
