May 7th - Shot Down in Flames 2011 - *Moved to Channahon*

We had a CTP playoff for the ace pot at the last tournament, so there is no carry over for the ace fund. If no one hits an ace at Shot Down in Flames, then we'll do a CTP for it at the end of the day.

There were a few players from First Flight that I will ask to move up. They aren't rated yet, but obviously should be playing up at least one more division. Don't worry, I'm on that...

Also, most of my tournaments are two days long, so you'll have plenty of chances to play on Sunday. And not everyone follows the same format, so if your division is still played on Saturday in my tournaments, there is bound to be a TD who is running a two day tournament with your division on Sunday.

You will find that a lot of the early tournaments are single days on Saturday. There are a lot of good reasons for this. It is expensive to put together a tournament, so there is risk involved for the TD. Saturday almost always gets more players, and that is why almost all one day tournaments are on Saturday.

Lastly, you do know that Mothers Day is on Sunday right? Shame on you for even thinking of playing a tournament on HER day. ;?)

For the second tournament in a row, I have an early registrant in the Women's Intermediate division. This time for Shot Down in Flames 2011. Could this be the start of a trend?

So I'm putting out the call (challenge?) to all the female players in the area to come out and play. Come out and share the comraderie of competition with your fellow female players.

That's my wife; she is all about tourneys. Heck, without her I would have never done my first tourney, or found this website, or a lot of stuff.

But, no local women are active on these boards, at all. You might have better luck going through j-town. Someone approached her at Highland about an all-female league last year, and I believe that was during a j-town league.

Well if thats your wife, then I know two other women that will be playing for sure.

[mashnut]

Ashleigh is a probably, so hopefully one more.

[surgeflx87]

What will happen with the women divisions, just curious for my friend. I see one women playing int. womens, two rec womens, and the girl i know playing adv. womens. Will they just merge the womens divs. together if there is a low turnout in each division? What division does ashleigh play, Adv.?
Let me know more about this if you can patrick. Thanks

[mashnut]

She's rated just inside the rec women range (until the next update) so she usually picks whatever division has the most people. She usually would pick intermediate, that's where all her recent rounds put her, but she'd rather have a bigger division than play against herself for a trophy.
