Hi Bill,
Sorry to say that something came up and I'm unable to attend this weekend. I understand the refund policy. If someone takes my spot, I'll gladly take the refund less handling fee. If no one takes my spot, please give my player's pack to Paul Boland, who will bring it to me in Tampa.
Thanks,
