Scott:

I wanted to congratulate you on your tournament. It sounds like it was a success. I also wanted to thank you for calling me last week after I sent you the e-mail requesting information on your split tournament format. It was great to hear that the format is being successfully implemented by some tournaments in Kansas. You indicated to me that you have a fairly long history of running this format. I would hope that someday it will catch on in the East-Central part of Kansas too. If a tournament is interested in considering the switch, I would suggest contacting Scott for information. He will give you the pros and cons of it. Congratulations again. By the way, Scott, Topeka turned out pretty good for us this year. I commented about it on the Topeka tournament topic.
