I’d like to thank Mike Evans for running the 501 All-Star tournament while I was off becoming a Papa (Grandpa; Dakota Lynn Stafford, 8 lbs. 4 oz., and very healthy) that day.  I got the call at 7 am that morning and Mike stepped up to help out. I’d also like to thank Mike Redmond for helping me set up the lights the night before.

Now, on to the tournament.  We had 18 participants in the men's division and 7 women shooting in the women's division.  This is a record turnout since 2006, when I took over as the local ADO coordinator. Congratulations to Steve Barchus and Scott Arkles (From the Youth League) for winning the men's division and to Lisa Jones for winning the ladies' division.  Due to a conflict with another tournament on Saturday, May 21, Lisa will not be able to attend the Regionals.  In her place, NODA will be sending Carol Dobek.

If anyone else is interested in shooting at Regionals, you can still attend by notifying me.  However, you will need to pay the $110 entry fee yourself.

Remember, the local qualifier is free to all current NODA (including Youth League) players.

For the 501 Regional Tournament, our Regional Director, Steve “Skippy” Jordan will not be available.  I have been asked to run the tournament this year.

Good luck to all the NODA players!

Congratulations to Steve Panuncialman, Frank Detman, and Jenny Jones.  You will be representing Region 4-4 in Stamford, CT.

I would like to take a brief moment to congratulate all the other participants as well.  Without your support, the Regional Playoffs would not have been as successful as they were.  No matter where you placed, you all deserved to be shooting that day.  Even if you did not shoot as well as you had hoped, the level of competition at Regional Playoffs can only make you a better player.

Respectfully Submitted,
