We didn't send you a CyberCards shirt just so you could not wear it to the IRI!

(although if you're saving your Indiana trip for the CAGE Match in October, that'd be fine with me!)

I just saw on CNN some serious flooding in the Indianapolis area associated with a 3rd round of severe weather this past week. Does anyone know what kind of condition the Castleton area is in? How are the area teams doing? Any problems with the venue?

[Taylor]

A tornado ripped through north of town earlier this week, destroying an apartment complex and possibly creating isses for members of 829, 868, 1018, and 1024; right now the flooding is primarily on the southside. Teams that may be experiencing flooding right now are 234, 1272, 1529, and 1741.
I don't think there will be any venue problems with the 1024 host school, Lawrence North High.
Thanks for thinking of us.

I currently live in Castleton and drive by LN (Lawrence North) every morning on my way to work. As bolier stated there are issues with people homes however the school is fine.

Hey just as a question, are lap indicators going to be used? We will be taking off the cable if not but wanted to be sure before we took it off, then needed it back on.

No on-board lap counters are being used. We will solely depend on the referee scoring.

Good question.

I stayed there with others in 2004. It was nice, and a very good deal.
