Tournaments: We need to decide if we would like to participate in the upcoming Tournaments:

NABA has extended a special discount for local teams, so it keeps our participation fee down. We may also link up with another team for these tourneys, but is up to you guys if you would like to have me contact other managers and see what they would like to do.
