2010 Battle O' Baltimore

Do you need someone for scorekeeping/field control?

[Chris is me]

Whether or not I'll be there's TBD, but 2791 will be there in some capacity. I think for this event we won't be kicking; just posession, hanging, and maybe pushing over / under the bump / tunnel. We'll be on the lookout for strong midfielders or redirectors, but luckily it looks like this event has a few of those. 1519, 1629, 1727, I'm sure we'll find some support here.
