Finals will typically be top 4, but no more than half of the field and time dependent.
We will conduct the tournament on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of each month. If interested in joining, but running late, let Nate know. If the format allows late entry, no issues, if not, you can take a strike and still participate.
