As you probably already know, Feb. 4-5 is another tournament weekend 
at UTC.  On Sat., Feb., 4, we will host ACF Regionals.  If you are 
interested in attending and haven't already notified me, please let 
me know.  As of the moment we expect:

Athens State (1-2 teams)
Berry
Florida State
Kentucky
Louisville
UTC
Vanderbilt (1-2 teams)

On Sun., Feb. 5, we will host a trash tournament, ACF Detox.  
Between the late notice, the number of short-handed teams, and the 
fact that it's Super Bowl Sunday, we are restructuring the 
tournament to fit the situation.  (Credit to UTC A.T.A. President 
Emeritus* John Kilby for the idea.)  

ACF Detox will take place as scheduled -- but as a pairs 
tournament.  All teams will consist of either one or two players,  
EXCEPT that first-time trash players don't count against the team 
limit.  In other words, you could field a team of four first-time 
players, or two experienced trash players plus one or two first-time-
ever trash tournament players, or... well, you get the idea.  If 
you've wanted to try a trash tournament, this would be a great time 
to check it out.  We will finish in time for everyone to see the 
Super Bowl. 

Fees are really simple: $30 per team with a full packet (at least 
24/24, which I really need by Tuesday evening), $40 with a half 
packet (at least 12/12), or $50 with no packet.  You can knock 
another $5 off for each official for ACF Regionals Saturday, even if 
you went to Provino's.  

For either or both tournaments, if you need further details, 
directions, packet specifications, etc., e-mail me at steinhic [at] 
bellsouth [dot] net.  Thanks.

P.S. Mark your calendars for Sat., March 4.  We'll host our spring 
high school tournament, the Dennis Haskins Open.  Come join us as 
officials for the day -- gain some great experience, earn major 
credit for tournament fees and/or practice questions, and get 
treated to dinner at Provino's.
