Cuse is like three to four hours longer of a drive for me and my crew. We plan on getting out their eventually, because the prize support is pretty much always insane. Its just one hell of a trip for a one day tourney...

TPS Rule #32 Jello is for winners!
Hadley = One hour and forty minutes away from me. Ten dollar entry fee. Reasonable chance of making T8. Great store with very fair prices on singles. Flexible prize structure (Don't like the prize? Get store credit instead and use it on the fairly priced singles).
Cuse = Two hours and fifteen minutes. Large entry fee. Tougher competition. Do you guys even have a store anymore? Should I raise the hackneyed topic of Change the Name's prices?
I went 4-1-1 in swiss, losing only to Aluren in both swiss and then top 8.
