No bad karma, please!!!

I just think some things need to be aired out. We really need to watch out during tournaments and make sure that our guests are not getting the raw end of the deal. It is crappy when the shelter gets booked and we have to move to a new location. I think it adds insult to injury when too many people are trying to help run the tournament.

Played with LSDiscs-Nils at his home course

Topeka, KS- Crestview:
