So is anyone else in this group playing in the Chicago Open this upcoming weekend? I am doing the Sat-Mon schedule.

I had suggested getting together but a lot will depend on who is playing in the 3- day, four day, 2 day option game times too. Parking is going to be hectic at that Westin hotel, there are limited spots

I was asked to join the team and get in on the michigan match by beardown12. looks like I missed registration

Team- I will lock the match with Michigan tonight, Sunday at 9pm Eastern. I'll post a note on the match site too. One last appeal to any Illinois player ...now, NOW IS the time to join. If we join, join together, we can win. And if we win, we'll have something none of us have ever had, a country of our own.... Oh wait, that was BraveHeart...just ask those other Illinois players to join so we can get this thing started.
