Status: Tournament Completed

RESULTS SWEEPS CHART

Parking Important

If you are driving a vehicle with LESS than EIGHT feet of clearance, please park in the parking garage.  If you do not have 8 feet of clearance, please park in lot number six. LOT#6 is the ONLY lot that will be plowed. If you park anywhere else, you will be towed.  From Lot number six, walk into the parking garage. It's only about 50 yards.  Once inside the parking garage, go to the third level.  Walk across the pedestrian bridge into building D.  Once in building D, you can walk to the rotunda for registration (near D120) .  The tournament takes place in only two buildings. We will have a clear path from D to L building.  Please take a look here for a visual of what I'm talking about.

Once again, PLEASE ONLY PARK IN LOT 6 OR THE GARAGE.  YOU WILL BE TOWED.  Questions call Jeff 847-567-2512
