The tournament website was here.
Directions to the Richmond Convention Center were here.
Parking info could be seen here.  We have always parked in #5.


Richmond Convention Center Rules.
No outside food was allowed in the RCC.........but some years they have allowed food inside.  Odd.
Coolers were not permitted in the RCC at all......but they let us to do that some years also.  Real odd.
Normally:  Unattended coolers could not be left outside the RCC and folding chairs could not be taken into the facility.
There were lots of security people, and, as the kids will say, they're "Nazis".

Our Division:
We entered into 15's Open.....where the best 15's teams in the area battled it out!

Parents got the confirmation # in an email.  I resent it to anyone who wished.

HOWEVER, we didn't play until Sat 2pm, so everyone cancelled their first nights!
