Tough year this year. Perhaps I am too critical, but I had trouble finding scenarios I Iiked. Still a couple scenarios on the list I am not sure about balance, but I will provide ABS and let you guys work it out.

And I will NOT be at St Louis tourney this year. That weekend is my parents 50th wedding anniversary. They seem to think I should be there rather than playing ASL. So see you guys next year. Have fun!!!

It shows. Sometimes better to use tried stuff than putting substandard scenarios for the sake of putting something new at all costs.
I wish nevertheless the best to all attendees.

I could use a roommate for the St. Louis Tournament. If anyone is going and would like to share a room, please send me a note through the private conversation link.

Glad to see plenty of alternatives to the Korean stuff - haven't gotten excited enough to read those rules...

The first draft of ABS is complete. I am currently on vacation, when I return home I will take another look and make some minor tweaks. It will be ready to publish in approximately 2 weeks, targeting July 1.

I have paid the tournament fee, bought a shirt, and reserved a room. I am trying to get my ASL travel kit situated for the tournament. My plan is to find people willing to play a newbie, still learning the game.

Unfortunately Jeff DeYoung will not be able to attend this year. My wife had rotator cuff surgery in June, I will be staying home to care for her. The upside is I will earn massive husband points. I will be at ASLOK in the fall so hope to see some of you there.
