The last 3 American Champions in the last seven years, if I am not mistaken..... who is going to be the real Champion? - Please take some videos of your games guys. I am sorry again I have to miss it.

Paul and I are booking flights tonight. Mike Tillman, Mike Kistler, Paul, and I got together for a couple games Monday night. Don't remember all of the scores, except that I got beat several times. Need to get back to where I was a few months ago before Nationals!

Hi Tom,
I heard from Sean Mann (Augusta, GA) on Facebook and he played in the tournament in Charleston, SC this past weekend and he said he for sure is going to Nationals along with his son Miko Mann. He also said Richard "Mike" Mellott is planning on playing as well. Have you heard from any of them yet? I didn't see their names on your official list above so I was just wondering. Thanks and no need to be nervous as I'm sure the tourney will be a great success.

I also don't see Eddie Davidson's name on the list but I thought he for sure was going. Am I wrong?

I hope everything goes smoothly with the tournament of course, and with everything leading up to it (getting the house in order, getting the trophies, etc etc)

Tom,
Do they need to email you to officially register? I think they thought simply confirming their attendance on Facebook is enough and that is where the confusion lies. I can let them know to email you if that's what you prefer. Thanks.
Zach

I try to keep up with everyone's posting on the ASA FB page as much as I can, but I don't see every one of them.
