Well, the State Open is over. I would like to extend a thanks to all the people who contributed their time before during and after the tournament. I was joking around that it takes a drunk village to hold a tournament. The reality is, without all the help in the form of people stepping up and acting as event coordinators, helping get the boards moved to the O and getting them set up, and then some of them broke down at the end, to just people willing to help run a quick message during the tournament.

There will be a few qualifying events over the next couple of weeks in preparation for the Regional Masters shoot being held in conjunction with the Alaska State Open. The Regional masters shoot is scheduled for Friday, Feb 8th at Carpentier's. I plan to hold the first qualifier Saturday at Carpentier's at 2 pm. If there is enough interest, I will hold a second one on Sunday at Carpentier's. I plan to hold at least one the following weekend. I will be calling folks, at least those that I have a phone number for, to get folks to show up.
