So, how many people are going to be there?

(expected)

We have 6-10 regulars who will be attending with work schedules permitting, and would like to expand on those numbers, obviously. Beyond that I would have to refer you to contact the store owner, Craig Abley, at 770-577-5399, and he would be able to provide more information as to whether or not others have contacted him about attending.

Update:

While I was very hopeful for a nice turnout for this weekend, it turns out that nobody wants to game around a holiday. That being said, unfortunately I don't know of any of our regulars who plan to attend this weekend. So if you want a short tournament, show up, otherwise hopefully the next try will be a little more worthwhile.
