Hospitality
We strive to provide quality breakfast, lunch and dinner free of charge. Einstein Bros Bagels and Saladworks graciously agreed to donate bagels for breakfast and sandwiches for lunch. The player dinner on Saturday will be catered by Q Barbeque, and 2 drinks from the bar will be included. Please let us know of any unusual dietary needs and food allergies.

Drawings
The tournament committee plans to continue providing prizes at the player dinner. We will be trying a new way to distribute the prizes. Players and volunteers will be asked to put their names in for the prizes they are interested. We felt that some prizes were not welcomed. For example, US Open tickets were not a great prize if you already purchased tickets or traveling to US Open represented an undue hardship. Let us know how you like the new way. We try to provide a good experience for all and appreciate your input.
