In Response To: 2014 ABT Tournaments (Stick)

Well, Wisconsin hasnt yet scheduled ours - I had emailed the MC people asking when they were doing theirs several months back, and hadnt heard back from them - there is crossover on those dates, and I would prefer not to lose players to MC if I can avoid it. Tentatively we are looking at the weekend of the August 1st to 3rd.

So, even though I wasnt asked (we arent on the calendar yet), I would have responded promptly, and am perfectly willing to share the answers I would give publicly, here.

I can say with a degree of certainty that for Wisconsin 2014:

Clocks preferred in the Open; mandatory in Doubles and Masters.

Legal Moves mandatory across the board.

Format will be Single Elimination, Progressive Consolation.

Rules to be used are TBD - but whatever works best - whether its the Simborg / Horton / Bower rules, or modified ABT are most likely.

Baffle Boxes / Dice Tubes will be only if both players agree to use them.

On the rules, I welcome feedback from the players as to which they prefer, and will happily go with a majority.

Note - There is a question mark as to whether I will be directing Wisconsin 2014 or not. I am hoping to convince Bill Minser that he should do it this year, so that I can play. But thats still under discussion. Either way, Wisconsin 2014 will go ahead, and it will be fun and friendly.

PS: Someone needs to unseat John O Hagan as the reigning champ here.
