Is It June Already?

Well, it looks like no one bothers coming to this blog anymore (myself included) but I thought it was about time for me to throw up something new.  Heading into June, some of the most surprising things I have noticed are the following:  1) tournament participation may be down at 4.0 and 3.5 levels, but it does look like all the bump-ups to 4.5 have been willing to give it a go as draw sizes seem to be running a bit larger at the major zones this year, 2) true to recent history, no one plays 5.0 and it did not help that no one was bumped up to 5.0, 3) Some new blood from Houston has been doing pretty decent on the tourney front this year - namely Guy and McCool.  Neither had much of a 4.5 history available on line but Guy has been active and successful in various leagues over the years.  Good to see some Houston guys stepping up to replace those that seem to have fallen off the face of the earth.

Here's to a successful Tyler, San Antonio, and Fort Worth over the next couple of months.
