Hi guys,
Practice your patience on this one for a while yet. I'm sure everyone who is
interested has already heard about EDEW's suspension. This appears to be
one more roll from the wannabe political ninnies to carve up the Bay Cup
and force us back into the dark ages. At best it means we'll get maybe $10
back, i.e. $5 x 6 ==$30 instead of the $40 we paid for each BayCup. But as
Erik points out those who are in the open and the D and under may wind up
paying more. I suspect the idiots who did this didn't bother to think it
through.
I'll send out requests for clarification.
