NA rules What???
What an expensive tournament – just for 4 games ???? And also you need a CCA membership???
And what’s your likelihood of winning at a CCA tournament? Nil you bonehead. Every shark will be coming looking for you dumb guppies to swallow up.
You idiots that only look at prize funds thinking you’ll actually win something.
Bonehead at 10:19pm – where does it say CCA membership. I can’t find it. Shows that you can’t read.
10:19:00 PM CDT,
Are you confused? The NA torurnament has 4 rounds the CCA has 5
The NA tournament is very expnesive compared to the prizes.
