I fear I'm too dense to figure out what you mean by "Ick," Bill, but
if you're registering your distaste for "tournaments," I should add
that this tournament made about $50,000 for the local Youth Service
Bureau, which helps kids who need it.

This was its tenth year and all told, it has made something like
$300,000 for that charity.

I think you are underestimating your figuring-out capabilities, Vince! You
hit the nail on the head. I'm happy you are raising money, but...

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. ((:-))
