NATIONALS Next Weekend: G/30 and/or G/60 National Championship in Santa Clara

Published: Fri, 09/15/17

 
Dear Players and Parents,

Nationals are coming to the Bay Area!!! can you ask for more?
Year after year BAC is working hard to make sure to bring a few Nationals over to the West Coast.
PLEASE, support us to continue to do so, and so you don't have to spend $$$ on airplane tickets and hotel rooms, and come and play at the tournaments.
If you or your child plays at the recurring tournaments around the bay area, you could go to any other tournaments that weekend,
but why not come to this and win the National Champion title, and you could be the next NATIONAL CHAMPION in your category!!!
