Our group is going to be at the Owensboro, Kentucky location.

What do they mean by bring appropriate scoring items. I usually just use 6 siders for keeping track of stuff. Do we need to bring something else? Also for the squad listing do you think a SW Minimanager printout will work?

Jim told us around the middle to end of May so this is coming up quick.

Thanks :)

my email is mickey1@siu.edu

We got the official date for Owensboro. It's June 13th. Seems kind of crazy 3 days before the next release. That means we are stuck with IE prize support :(

The 30th? Wow all the sites for preordering I have seen say 16th. Well that's good because we might get a release tourney at the end of the month then :)
