Assuming you have the Excalibur II clock that CJC sells, be careful with it on your trip. I would keep it in the box it came in and not check it, but leave a little extra time to explain it at airport security. Might be a good idea to have the tournament flyer with you to show security also. If you store it in checked baggage, pack it with care.

On the being careful front, I took my clock to our local club Thursday and brought it stored loosely in my crisloid board. The board closed without a problem, but when I got to the club, the LCD display on the clock was messed up. I thought I was gonna have to get a new clock, and that mine was defective, but it got better at home after changing batteries and resetting the clocks settings. Anyway, IMHO, LCD displays can be real sensitive, I've had enough calculators over the years that the display went to heck after a year or so.

Good Luck in Colorado, to you and the other BGonliners.
