Singles Boxes
2010.08.25 07:58
The August Box session ends August 29th.
If you intend to play in the September box ladder, please sign up as
soon as you are confident that your schedule will permit you getting
all your matches in.
There is a little more preparation in organizing the September box as
there are usually several players returning from their cruising,
golfing, and painting the house. For the September box, the club singles,
and GigaSports ladders will be used to, hopefully, place players appropriately.
Your early registration will help.
