French Nats are coming up at the University of Ottawa March 12-14. Registration is only $30 per person. This includes the cost to participate in the tournament, the hardware you take home after winning, and a Saturday-night banquet at Tuckers Market Place. It is a all-you-can-eat buffet which typically has tasty treats such lamb, roast beef, stir-fry, and tons of dessert including cheesecake! Ben is interested in attending, but he's looking for a partner. Discuss this on the CUDS forum. View the CUDS schedule to see how this tournament fits into our year.
