Hello CSP:

My middle Grandson, Solomon, who is 9 years old is an ACF Member and played in last Summer's " Arthur Niederhoffer 2005 ACF Youth Tournament" in Dublin,Ohio. If you are 18 and under you can join for $10.00 per year and receive an electronic bulletin 6 times per year. The ACF would welcome you as a member.

Sincerely:

Cool, thanks. i'm only 15. I would join but my problem is that parents work and i don't have nobody take me me to tournaments. I'm not sure whether you guys play tournaments here in Houston,Tx that's also a problem for me.

MOST TOURNAMENTS ARENT HELD ANYWHERE NEAR WHERE YOU LIVE BUT DONT GET DISCOURAGED. ALOT OF THE TOURNAMENT PLAYERS PLAY ONLINE YOUNG AND OLD. I THINK TEXAS HAS A TOURNAMENT SOMEWHERE OUT TOWARDS WEST TEXAS WHICH MIGHT BE FAR FROM YOU. MOST PLAYERS KNOW WHAT ITS LIKE HAVING NO TOURNAMENTS NEAR YOU OR ANY PLAYERS CLOSE BY BUT SINCE YOUR FROM A LARGE CITY MAYBE YOU WILL GET LUCKY. IF YOU WANT TO PLAY ONLINE LET ME KNOW.
