Well, since we are not going to have any real or final confirmations until Labor Day, it seems a waste of time trying to figure brackets and schedules at this point.
"Active" meaning what? One post? One post a week? One post a year? 50 posts? etc,etc,etc. "Active" is too open-ended. "Verified" covers only people Steve knows or knows that one of us knows.
I think that's better. It's objective and not subject to interpretation.
It's not subjective after you establish the specific amount of activity required, but establishing that amount is entirely subjective. Who is going to do that?Verifying status, activity and posts is easy to do with forum members list statistics. Its not subjective.

It seems that early on in this endeavor, it seemed a stretch just to get 16 confirmed participants and look where we are now, trying to accommodate 48 players in just two days. Kind of like trying to pack 100 lbs of mudbugs into a 2 lb sack.
I'm all for being inclusive as well, and I agree that although we have competitive drives, this event was originally proposed for its social aspect. To accommodate this, I'm thinking of the following:
1. Race to 2 only on both sides.
2. As many as possible get there ahead of time (even as early as Thursday) for social, action, etc.
3. Welcome all who show up as late as first thing Saturday morning.
4. Focus is comaraderie, fun and action.
5. Entry fee primarily to make Frank's nut and modest reward to those who place...not for enrichment. Have a Calcutta if people want more $$ for reward.
6. Late comers to be bid as a blind pool in the Calcutta.
Most of all, have fun in a quality venue with all our friends.

Agree.
We don't need no stinkin' stats. If Hacker has posted that you're a dumba** or similar, or that your shot idea ain't worth shi*, then you're an active member. If he hasn't then you're not active.
We will probably be flying in on Thursday night or early Friday morning so I am up for meeting up with people on Friday afternoon.
BTW, for those of you who have never been to Lacy's Cue, it is an awesome facility.
If you guys are interested in having steak and potato lunch/dinner, I can pretty much guarantee that the owner will make it available if he knows in advance how many want to eat steak and baked potato on a specific night. Nothing like eating a grill steak hot off the grill.
Just let me know how many would be interested in such a thing and the specifics of what you are interested in.
Best regards,

Okay, I would like to play in the event at Lacy's but was having trouble finding the original thread to post in.
It's almost in my back yard.
Can someone point me to right link for where the players names are listed.
I heard that John Henderson is making the trip along with many other notables so I have to go too, if there is a spot left for me.
Can someone confirm that I have a spot available or not? If a spot is available I'll take it. I might be able to convince a couple of more blind guys to play if you have some openings.
thanks,
JoeyA
Looking forward to seeing you again

No way you can play in it
1. You don't have enough posts.
2. Your too late.
3. Your a bad man.
4. Just pulling your chain
Maybe you should handle all the entry fees
