Maine Skirmish tournament - November 7th
(Preview)
Bourque and I plan on doing this tournament. It's a no-points tournament. Which means you can only win by sub or ref's decision. Anyone else interested? http://www.angelfire.com/me2/skirmish/ Oh and it sounds like bicep cutters are legal, so I fully expect Bourque to bring home gold.

Rumor has it people are meeting up at GBNH around 6pm for some fun and then heading to Sky to watch the fights. Could be fun unless Bourque comes and wristlocks everyone.
