However, a lot depends on how many players sign up. So that is a decision the TD makes prior to start time, as to whether to play a double round-robin in perhaps two or three sections, or play a large single round-robin.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02932399031369292876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33487099.post-26446592880122434372010-02-23T17:57:18.512-06:002010-02-23T17:57:18.512-06:00Sounds like fun!
