First of all I would like to thank my son for going with me as usual his help was invaluble to me. A big thanks to Darren Derricks and Dean Kane for inviting Bret and myself to stat this tournament. I had no internet connection so sending games and recap stories did not happen. Next Year we will have to make better arrangements. Probably the best tournament in the USA this year should have been reported better. Karen LeBlanc announced almost all of the games at the Cirle Tap Diamond and did a graet job. Last but not least the Ribeye Steak sandwich was incredible. Sundays recap:
