Here's the latest from Ron Karpinski:
One month to SUMMER FRENZY!!
15 teams have shown interest and some (3) even have actually sent checks. THANK YOU.

The $150 entrance fee was only meant to make sure teams were serious about attending.
(IF we needed the money to hold this event it would be cancelled!)
We are fortunate to have gotten sponsorship to cover the arena and court to fulfill our intent of returning that money to you.
A lot of work has gone into this event, in lieu of a deposit check, we need your commitment (by email) that you will attend NOW.
THIS EVENT DEPENDS ON YOU.
The parking is FREE!
The arena is AIR CONDITIONED!
