This one is gonna be a treat for us all! I'm diggin the rules. Change is good. Heck if it goes well, this tourney would be a good candidate to out on bi-annually, Tri-annually, or shux, quarterly even.

TTThanks for hooking up the special deal for us Eddie!!

If I wasn't going to be out of town, I'd go just so that Rick and I could spend our four-year anniversary together.

And yes, Rick means so much to me that I finally started a profile just to say this.

Did you have to ask for twisters to be ok in purple or were they automatically cool with it?
