WRGPT 14 Registration Open
While my back was turned (I've spent the past week in an assembly hall in Yachats, Oregon, among a crowd of people barking like dogs; what was your first week of classes like?) registration opened for the fourteenth annual World Rec.Gambling Poker Tournament. WRGPT is a no-limit Texas hold'em tournament played entirely for email. Entry is free, and the only prize is bragging rights.
815 players are registered as I write this. I'm expecting that this is the first time in several years that more people started in the Big Dance at the WSOP than will play. Is this the beginning of the end...?
Good luck to everyone. As always, I intend to r00l you at the final table.

(You know me. I'd meow instead.)
