Planning For The 2008 NSC

Okay, I know. It's more than a year away. But, I'm doing some preliminary planning for the 2008 NSC.

First, I want to play in Division 3. To do so, I need to raise my rating to 1400. To do that I need to learn more words and play in at least five tournaments. So, Zyzzyva is up and running again and I'm looking at tournaments, but probably none before October.

Second, Bodie and Kristi will make the trip with me.

Third, I want my mom to play in the tournament. I'm sure it won't be too hard to convince her.

Fourth, I hope dad and Bodie's Florida cousins will make the trip with mom and hang out with Kristi and Bodie during the day.

Potential Tournaments: Twin Cities (November), Reno (January), Phoenix (February), and some one-day tournaments in Laguna Woods, CA.
