Nov. 14th Local Club Tournament Announcement

Our monthly local club tournament for November will be held on Sunday, November 14, from 3:00 p.m. to around 9:00 p.m. at our regular meeting location, Perkins Family Restaurant, 2401 Richmond Road, Lexington. John Spangler will direct.

The November LCT is open to anyone who wishes to play, regardless of whether he or she is a member of the local club. It will be rated by the Word Game Players' Association (WGPO); no NASPA membership is required. The entry fee is $10. WGPO does not require individuals to be WGPO members in order to play at tournaments that it rates but encourages them to join; there are no membership dues for WGPO. You can join WGPO on its web site at http://www.wordgameplayers.org/join .

The tourney format will continue to be a five-round tournament, including a meal break at Perkins, with pairings and prize structure determined by the tournament director on the basis of the number of players participating.

WGPO fully rates local club tournaments. Seedings will be determined by players' WGPO ratings, with NASPA ratings used if the player has not yet established a WGPO rating.

Entry deadline is 5 p.m., Saturday, November 13. -- In order to ensure a timely start for the tournament, players must register for the LCT by no later than 5 p.m. on Saturday, November 13, the day before the tourney. To register either leave a comment to this blog entry OR send an e-mail to John at JMSinKY@aol.com

I will be there. My daughter Madeline may also possibly play, depending on whether I think she'll be ready (regarding using the clock, keeping score, etc).
