Ray, I entered the tournament online. Could you please verify that I successfully entered?. I think that if I'll mail the check tomorrow, it won't make by Saturday morning, so if it's ok, I'll pay at the tournament.. Entered last minute as I though that I would be out of town..
You can find the registration form located on this page, on the upper left side, near the top...Click on "Feb. 27-28 Entry Form-Lakeland"...You can also enter online.
The tournament in Clearwater, on January 10, 2009 is already full with 2 currently on the waiting list. Be sure to sign up for the Lakeland tournament which will be held on Feb. 27-28, 2009!
I'm starting to put some of the 2008 Olympic videos online at the cocoa beach website. They are big (400 Meg) but the quality is good and they last about 40 minutes each. Goto the download section at: Click Here
