Thank You For Supporting Our New Events

To our patrons: Thank you for the positive feedback about our recent G/60 Quads & $-Per-Point Quads.

We will certainly run the G/60 again but, since an earlier start time in late June or early July is not possible, plans to hold another have been pushed back a month.

As for the $-Per-Point format... We'll try it within an Octos tournament in late-summer. To be honest, I'm kicking myself for not thinking of this tweak earlier.

The G/80 Quads?... They deserve another shot. Look for it in late-September, if the YMCA gives us the green light.
