I have been in this sport for ten years and hosting national level events for six years. I have learned how players think and what they desire as a challenge. I have rewarded Pathfinders of Operation Pine Plains and The Cove with honorary status because they took the leap of faith when others stood on the sidelines and watched. I have maintained a consistent pricing structure in light of rising costs to ensure everyone has the opportunity to experience Blacksheep. Some players think they are not ready for Blacksheep – you never know until you put your skills to the test against a measurable standard.

I empathize with current economic conditions, with the saturation of events this season and player decisions on which events to attend. I know many of you are sitting on the fence right now about The Cove. Waiting to see who else signs up and not wanting to commit because if it doesn’t happen you won’t get a refund. Let me put your minds to rest. Our normal policy is that no refunds are issued, credits for future games are honored at any venue. We have never been in this situation before and there are many factors influencing where we are right now. There has never been a situation of whether or not to hold an event. This caused us to revise our refund policy, for events that get cancelled due to low headcount refunds will be issued. Get off the fence, every paid registration counts.

The Cove is that important as a milestone for our sport. I ask your support in being part of the solution to make this event happen. Not part of the problem in waiting to see what others do. I will make a decision on Sunday at midnight, 15 September based on paid registrations. It’s a simple GO/NO GO at that point and I will announce it at midnight. If it doesn’t happen, the next Cove will be in September 2014 due to our increased schedule next year.
