Hi everyone! This is the official thread for our December tournament being held at the Bethesda Marriott in Bethesda, MD on Sunday, December 15. The main tournament on Sunday will be Zero-G, but in honor of the new Limited Format we will try to have a Limited format tournament immediately after the Zero-G tournament. It all depends on the turnout and timing, but we will do our best to make it happen!
The Bethesda Marriott Hotel is located just west of the intersection of 495, 270, and 355 (Rockville Pike). Parking in the surrounding neighborhood is available for free on Pooks Hill Road, but space is limited and first come first served! Otherwise there is parking in the Marriott Lot for $15.

I'm sorry if this caused anyone any trouble. I told everyone in the last thread that this was going to be the weekend for the tournament and that getting the hotel (at a rate that wasn't going to break the bank) was going to be a challenge.
Does your post mean that you aren't going to be able to make it?

Yes, now that I have negotiated the rate with Bethesda there won't be any further delays with this location. I was able to get them down to $150 for the room rental - which means that now I will only spend around $100 of my own money each month to make sure that we have a reliable blading venue during the winter...
Not hardcore enough to play outside like us in Toronto?
