Venue should still be SpeakEZ Lounge unless we grow too large. Looking for alternative in case we get over 16 players. With the number of people considering that is still a possibility. Two newish players from the Indianapolis area have booked hotel rooms in GR, another in the Columbus area is interested, and Brian Bostelman from NW Indiana is considering coming out of retirement.
1 Peter Alegi (E.Lansing MI)
2 Marcus Fila (Kentwood MI)
3 Paul Pate (Rockford MI)
4 Nathan Pate (Rockford MI)
5 Mike Ewer (Grand Rapids MI)
6 Tim Tumminaro (Batavia IL)
7 Chris Sweetland (Naperville IL)
8 Brian Lambert (Grand Rapids MI)
9 Thatcher Berends (Holland MI)
10 Chad Idema (Grand Rapids MI)
11? Brad Hendricks (North Vernon IN)
12? Shane McNulty (North Vernon IN)
Get into town early and watch the World Cup qualifiers on the Friday afternoon or evening. European games at 2 or 3, then the US v Jamaica game at 6.30. The American Outlaws will be in force at SpeakEZ Lounge.

Unless we suddenly get a run of registrations we will play at our usual venue of SpeakEZ Lounge:
SpeakEZ Lounge
600 Monroe Ave NW
Grand Rapids MI 49503
By road: I-196 to Ottawa/Ionia, then west on Michigan Street and north on Monroe Avenue; note if travelling south on US-131, you should exit at Leonard and head east then south on Monroe, as the route shown on Google Maps does not take into consideration that you are not permitted to merge onto the left of 196 and then exit at Ottawa on the right.
If travelling by rail or long distance bus, let me know. Venue is about a mile from either across downtown.
If you're flying in, GRR airport is about 10 miles away. Travel by bus or taxi. Let me know if you're flying in too.
Anticipated schedule is:
9am Setup, registration, practice
10am Start, group stage
1pm Lunch break
1.30pm Second stage
3.30pm Final four
5pm Finish

Second stage will be a further round robin stage, resulting in a smaller final knockout phase.

Further title for Alegi
Italian Peter Alegi of East Lansing won another ASA/WASPA title by topping a 9-man round robin tournament in Grand Rapids, Michigan on Saturday.
He won 7 games, drawing just one against Mike Ewer where he trailed 0-1 but recovered with a late goal.
Rockford's 15-year-old Nathan Pate was in a race for 2nd with Grand Rapids' Mike Ewer until the latter lost his unbeaten streak against Chicago's Chris Sweetland, sealing the youngster's silver medal spot. The final game between them was a mere formality.
It was an outstanding national and international debut for the North Vernon players from southern Indiana, who pushed the likes of Sweetland, Paul Pate and Tim Tumminaro into the lower half of the table. Both players exhibited some quickfire play, Brad Hendricks was a bit more methodical and his defence was the second best of the day, earning him fourth place. Shane McNulty was involved in one of the best games of the day, losing 3-4 to Ewer after leading 2-0 and 3-2.
Sweetland's play was curiously subdued. Having made his tournament debut in Grand Rapids' Flicko de Mayo, where he almost eliminated eventual champion Steve Laskey, he started this tournament firing five blanks in two draws and three defeats. He recovered though to force a 1-1 draw against Paul Pate, before tripping up Ewer's ambitions at a second place coming back from 0-1 down to win 2-1.
Paul Pate's seventh place and Tim Tumminaro's eighth place were both indicative of some inconsistent play, but both were more victims of an incredibly level playing field than of their own form.
First year player Chad Idema's record of zero points and zero goals bely his improvement over the past six months or so. He was awarded the Sportsmanship Prize by STCreations66 and Tim Tumminaro.
Michigan's next tournament will be held in January, date and venue to be arranged.
