    Another aptly named tournament. There appears to be snow in the forecast for tonight, and it also appears be another knight under 32 degrees, so technically "frozen" works also. You have to love it when a name comes together!

    Registration: 6:30 is a good time, as we'll want to kick off the games right around 7:00 pm.

    We'll close registration at 6:55 to make sure we start on time, so don't be late!
