Club Tourneys can be funny but the MDA, which this one is modeled after is a no sheet awesome bragiing rights tourney, It really does more to fish and less on the fund raising then perhaps it could. The MDA Tourney last year raised 1200-1300 or something dollars if I remember right among all the clubs that particpated. I think much of the money raised was by people buying the raffle tickets. I know I donated a half dozen real nice plugs for the raffle table and a couple clubs donated things and a couple shops donated a reel. Again, went to a good cause.

I really would have liked to get us into the RISAA tourney but we were never invited (we have been invited to other regional tourneys, officially and unofficially) but I missed the dealine. I looked several times on their site but their were no details. Was not a problem when they wanted to push the show, plenty of links there. Anyway....

Well, in a nutshell, I received an e-mail which I will apply to tonight or tomorrow about whether or not we qualify as a "club"

Perhaps we will create a "club", elect Clammer as President, have an E-Board, charge $1 annual dues, and have out meetings at Hooters on Tuesday nights once a month in the off season

Thanks and good luck!

John
