Lumberjack Open
Since there is a large interest in getting more spots. What is the registered player's response to having 5 somes? I don't want to make this change without hearing from the people that have been sold a tournament with a 72 player cap. The benefit would be a large increase in the payout and friends that couldn't get in can. Downside is longer rounds and more waiting. Ams that would get in past the 72 cap would get a smaller player's package (since I had planned on fewer people ... more
For Saturday, I understand that the pros don't want to be there all day.

As the TD I do think that we could accommodate the extra 18 but I also don't want those that registered o ... more
