ACF 3 moves National 2021 - FINAL

[Alex_Moiseyev]

Today I spoke shortly with Mr. Joe McDaniel regarding upcoming ACF National in Tulsa at the end of November - beginning of December and we decided to repost this information and bring it back make sure people are aware of details and are up to day with information.

Mainly the only difference with previous announcement on summer is dates, free lunch and potentiomal small adjustment to price amount and distribution. Anything else is the same.

As far as I know this year in ACF National we may expect participation of top players as Sergio Scarpetta, Lubabalo Kondlo, James Morrison, William Docherty, Richard Beckwith, Jack Francis, Clayton Nash and many other. I also will be there.
