First State March Madness 3/10/18

All,

We have a date for the first tournament of the year for Delaware in 2018(not counting the SCS), mark your calendars for 3/10/18. More details to come but I wanted to get the date out to everyone as early as possible.
A few things to note:
*Location will be different this time. Exact location to be determined still
*Entries will probably be capped due to space reasons, although I’ll leave it up to the players. One possible location is my basement and I think 30+ people we be tight. However if the players don’t mind, I’ll increase the number of entries. My initial thoughts was capping entries at either 24 or 28 entries. Your feedback can change this though so post up if you aren’t too worried about space problems. I’ll post pics of my basement for everyone to get a rough idea.

*Format will remain the same
*Side games will probably not be available, however if available it would probably only be 1 machine involved.
*Start time. Keep it at 1pm or move it up to 12pm?

Thanks Phil! So far the first 2 tournaments I directed in Delaware were well received from everyone that attended. First event had 39 and the second one had 38. Hoping we can max this one out. Great mix of players from first timers to several players ranked inside the top 200. 1st place in A division paid out $300 for the first tournament and $275 for the second one plus all the other payouts.

I don’t recognize your username, so looking forward to meeting you!
