Early build Mock up ;
Moved this tournament up to August 1 for entry deadline. I've decided to make the 1st of the month the deadline for all monthly RLD tournaments. Just keeps it easy to remember and manage.
The actual race will take place after that date. This gives me time to photograph, preview, etc.
Unless there is massive unrest, I'm postponing this tournament. I'm finding the combination of monthly tournaments and web site management to be a little more than I expected. Needed to clear something out to get some other work done.
The July and September tournaments are still on the books and will go on as advertised.
Sorry for any inconvenience.
