    Nice job restraining yourself for so long. I know it was hard

    Are there results from last years event anywhere online?
    Im particularly interested in how the sabre event was.

    Meh, I would, if it weren't a plane ride away and a weekend that already has ~4 better tournaments on it for me (which obviously already means that I'll be skipping two of them).

    I don't mind the advertising. If I were in TX I'd go.

    I think fencerontheline is just trying to compete for my position of forum curmudgeon.

    Maybe it's last year's advertising that got to me, or the fact that it's included in big, bold letters in your signature, but I'm definitely turned off to the open. If I were able to go (IE- I was closer), I might skip it outta spite...

    New addition, we are trying to set-up a wheel chair demo on Sat afternoon. Should be a lot of fun, fencers will get a chance to fence in a wheelchair and see what it's about.
