Events
** WE HAVE REACHED OUR 120-PERSON MAXIMUM CAPACITY. **
All new registers will be placed on a WAIT LIST (in order of date/time registered) and will enter the tournament when a seat becomes available.
You are encouraged to register and join the wait list. Regular play and the inevitable no-shows will open seats in the tournament (we know multiple people who might not attend due to various circumstances).
Anyone on the wait list that does not get a seat, will be given the option of receiving a refund or given the option of donating all or part of their registration to the Autism Resource Foundation (ARF).
If you are going to be LATE, you must text both Anthony Hale (602-435-1251) and Keith Taylor (623-556-7603) BEFORE the tournament starts to reserve your seat.
