Both cities are tough for me. Central or West and I'm in.

For those of us on the East Coast or in the Midwest, Memphis seems central. From the West Coast, not so much.
On the other hand, Kansas City is as central as it gets, and I wouldn't think it any easier to get to from out West than Memphis is, and Memphis airport is 10 minutes from Southaven, KC airport is 40 minutes away from the best place to play.
Anyway, I'm not trying to convince you, Nick, just explaining my thinking while I was trying to get something rolling.
I hope you'll figure out a way to make it work for you.
Maybe in the future we should think about twice a year (if this one works pretty well) and have one in range for folks out West, and one closer for the guys in the East.
Here's an idea: make it an every-year tournament and alternate East and West of the Mississippi. Looks like we'll start on the east side, as all right-thinking people would prefer.
Yes, that's where I have you on the list, so I'll leave you there.My traveling is limited to New Orleans at this time.
Perhaps LSJohn would care to donate to my cause.
First, I don't think it's necessary to post entry fees before arrival. Secondly, when we vote, honor system is fine regarding "Please don't vote unless you think there's a good chance you will go if the place you prefer is chosen." (IMO, this should include "voting rights" if you think you will come only to observe/visit and may or may not play.)
Also, before we vote, I think we should confirm dates and times of day for each location. We've been unofficially informed that 12:00 noon will be available at Lacy's even though regular opening time is 4:00 PM. Southaven opens at 10:00 AM every day, so no prob there.
I don't think the proposed dates have been confirmed at either location. Doc or jtom, would you confirm Noon to Midnight for us at Lacy's on Sept 24 and 25?
Todd or Bill, can you confirm those dates at Southaven?
Jeff, can you confirm SS dates at Bogies?
We can talk about how to handle a food and drink fund after we settle on a location. (I'm in for $100 either place.)

Dates for SS tourney are Oct. 28,29, and 30th. Be there or be square!
I am throwing my vote in with da barber. M y wife would like NO also. Maurice, you going ?
I'm going anywhere...but I prefer Nawlins!
John, I'll have to be a maybe on both locations. I have some family health issues going on, and can't really commit to anything. In the meantime I am saving my pennies for some of that $20 action.
