Hey Drew, how ya doin? TD is such fun huh? Thanks again for the tour when the Wisconsin boys were in town. Kevin is a good guy; make sure he has fun.
He showed us around Charlie Vettner; prior to Veterans (same day)...small world
Good to hear from ya again Paul! Just dealin with the normal TD nonsense. Busy turning lemons into limeade.
Sorry about cutting my long post from before short got a call from my Mom as I couldn't talk to her yesterday to wish her a happy Mom's Day due to work. But that's beside the point.
Ok where was I , ahh yea, Friday
I have played many tournaments and of all of them the ones I was most impressed by, whether big or small, were the ones that had Friday check in. This eliminated the Saturday scramble for both players and TD's and in the case of playing multiple courses made travel much easier. One of the gripes the last few years was the Saturday scramble to get everyone to the appropriate course on time and If you have 100 people trying to sign up day of it doesn't help especially if it involves having to shift the pools that day.
The Players meeting is not mandatory alto it is recommended so that you know the rules/ob's and just in case your division gets shifted to a different start course, which in this case isn't much of a big deal as the 2 courses are close together, but we still wanted to eliminate as many hassles as possible.
If you have already pre-reg/paid
I'll count that as a check in. If you have done so and at last minute can't come just check in with me so I can make the adjustments to the cards. The Friday check in/registration is mainly for the procrastinators who sign in last minute of which our sport is famous for.
So in short If you already registered/paid. Show up Saturday, alto I recommend getting to the course early as opposed to 5 minutes before start time. Players meeting is however recommended but not manditory. We will now for sure whos playing where by then.
Unless 100 people show up at 8:30pm. You never know.
