This is a fun tournament a few of us attended last year as part of Friendly Fire (Kansas City Club team). There was only one other team from Rolla I believe. The fields were really nice and it is a well-run tournament. Would be nice if we took a team and helped to grow this event that is closer to home! When I checked for Saturday night the Holiday Inn at Columbia University was the best option $84.55 per queen for 2 queen room refundable w/ breakfast (see Accomodation Link). The bid fee (per player) is approximately $20. You will be responsible for travel, meals, photographs, and lodging (as applicable). You can make changes to your RSVP up until the event.
