There are some divisions that have people TIED for the lead. These are not included here.

Also, some of those ahead in their divisions have very slim leads.

Its exciting to anticipate the outcome and see some of these championships come down to the wire.

Best of luck to everyone.

Looking forward to this AMAC tournament in Sylacauga this Saturday!

THIS SATURDAY: Tournament #4 (Central Division) is in Sylacauga at the J Craig Smith Community Center.

Same rules, same divisions, same setup. Consistency is what validates a Championship.

We're looking forward to seeing all of the friends we've already made AND to meeting new competitors who have said they're coming.

Let me take a moment and give a big thank you to Mr. Matt Roeder. Sometimes its the small things that make the biggest difference and Mr. Roeder sent me the perfect message at the perfect time. He knows what I'm talking about, so I'll leave that between us.

Attached is the flyer for the Gulf Shores event, coming up in October.

Big news coming up when we see you in Sylacauga.

Best of luck to everyone.

NOTE FOR CLARITY: A couple of things slipped by me when I reviewed this flyer: all divisions are individual. We don't have team events - yet. Maybe next year depending on interest.
