Players Needed!
We need players for the next two scheduled games, which are this Saturday at Dan Burgess’ home in Downers Grove and next Wednesday at Guthrie’s Tavern.
The Guthrie’s game on the 20th has five players signed up. For the mathematically challenged among you, that means we only need two more. Dip, Drinks and the chance to do both with our favorite Oklahoman, Sam Bassett–what’s not to like? I’d sign up in a second if my wife weren’t working late that night. š It’s Dad and Diapers for me.
CODCon Cometh
Our seventh annual CODCon Open Diplomacy tournament is less than 2 1/2 months away. We hope you’ll join us April 20-21 at the College of Dupage in Glen Ellyn for the good Dip and better times that have defined our minor tournament.
Please note that our event is moving from the student lounge, our home of the past six years, to a private room. The downside of the move is that we will not have 24-hour access to the room, so we’ll be making a change to the published start time for the Saturday evening round. Stay tuned for that.
Beware! March Madness is Coming
This March, we’re renewing our six-year-old fight to restore the month to its original pastime–backstabbing! We’ve scheduled bar games in Chicago and Skokie, and house games in Chicago, Des Plaines and Downers Grove. Check out the schedule, consult your calendar, and sign up. And consider bringing a friend along. Over the years, March Madness has been one of our best recruiting activities.
