You are a sweetheart Bob. I didn't think I would ever say that.

I think not.....

Any reasons why it's moving from April/May (can't remember which) to Sept?

Not complaining, just curious.

A couple, one is we run the HP States in April and we needed time between matches, after that it starts to get pretty warm so being no formal rules on when it has to be the decision was to hold it in the fall when the temps start to drop. That said, we also had to schedule it around other events and activities who's dates were not flexible.

For those that prefer PDF.

I look forward to possibly meeting some of you guys at the match.
