  • Done,

    We are at 18 now coming so it should be another good one, Anyone on the list if you have to cancel please let me know. Im actually talking to a bar owner friend of mine who is looking into hosting this tourney so we can expand past 24. Right now it's going to be here so I am limiting it to 24 and if the weather co operates maybe 32 if we use the garage.
  • Just a bump, there are 3 spots left if anyone is interested. If you need directions please PM me and I'll send it out
  • :s: :d: :c: :h:

    Joe -

    2 more for the tourney - Derek G. and Justin B. :D:D
  • That fills the 24 now. I know of 2 people who may walk in and show up. If you can't make it please let me know.

    Thanks
  • The list of entrants and waiting list should be up to date.  Please advise me if it isn't.   

    If you can't make it please let me know.  I've advised the people on the waiting list to show up, and if no prior arrangements (phone call e mail pm etc) they will fill the vacant spots.  It seems that a 10-20% no show rate is common.  The maximum you will be blinded out will be the first level (25 min) then the chips will be removed from play unless I know your on the way. 

    If you need directions etc please pm me and I will forward them.

    See everyone on March 4, 2006 @ 3 pm
  • Sorry everyone I've moved the tourney to 3 pm. Directions will be sent out about a week before the tourney. We are now at 40 so some scrambling had to be done. It will be held at a different location to the usual tho only about 4 minutes away. If this isn't good please let me know.
  • Directions has been sent to everyone. If you didn't receive them, please let me know. The New start time is 3 pm. I will begin taking registrations at 2:30. For those who told me to add names to the list please ensure they are informed.

    Thanks.
  • never recieved the directions
  • Everyone should now have received the directions. If not please contact me via e mail at crowncasino@winning.com since some PM apparently aren't going through.
  • Joe I am not able to come. I have to work 10 - 10 I am truly sorry about this.

  • This post has been edited now that I'm over being pissed. This event has been cancelled due to concerns raised by the local authorities. Please check your PM"s. I will not answer questions related to this in the forum. Future events will be limited to 32 max and held at the traditional location. I am in the process of reviewing the documentation provided to me. It is strangely similiar to the KWSOP and the Royal Cup. I have reviewed the options including moving it and felt cancelling was the best option. Please check your PM's and if you were bringing friends please advise them.

    Sorry for this, but it is now beyond my control.
