Update December 29, 2021, 11:30PM: Many players have asked if the tournament will still be held given the forecast of snow on January 1. As they say, the show must go on! Please drive safely, give yourself plenty of time, even double the time needed to drive to the tournament site. We plan on starting at 9:30AM for Round 1. —- This tournament will NOT be canceled.
Safe travels and Happy New Year~!
