I fear I'm too dense to figure out what you mean by "Ick," Bill, but
if you're registering your distaste for "tournaments,"......

You hit the nail on the head. I'm happy you are raising money, but...

Ick.

In general I share your feelings about turning a pleasant sport into a
competition. Were it not for charity, I wouldn't participate.

So I won't even mention there's another tournament on the Little J
that makes even more money per year, for the Cystic Fibrosis
Foundation. ((:-))
