Below my sig are complete guidelines/info/clarifications about the tourney.
Currently there are 7 teams signed up, with room for 3 more.
Tourney date is April 19, a Sunday, 9:30am - 5pm.
The tourney site will be Cedar Forks District Park, in Morrisville, located here: http://tinyurl.com/2ceu68
Tourney cost is $125 per team, with payment to be made the day of the tourney.
Current list of teams:
1) IBM-1
2) IBM-2
3) IBM-3
4) Carolina Outreach, LLC
5) Nortel/Cisco alliance
6) SAS
7) McClure/Alan merger
The College Consortium team I had envisioned does not have a spokesperson/leader, and it went from Kenny Marcus' hands to Victor Maneilly's (maneilly65 at hotmail.com)...
The State of NC employee team has not materialized... If someone is going to pull this together, do it soon.
