ASA Nationals Travelers Cup 2010

The festivities start the night before the Nationals...generally with some adult beverages and food of some sort. There are laughs and stories as friends become reacquainted.

During the evening there is usually some flicking...but that night is played the traditional Traveler's Cup. This is a tournament for all the players that are in town the night before from places far and near. Will be interesting to hear about these games this year...
