Chris, who often directs major tournaments, told CLO that he enjoys playing instead, "I enjoy the social aspect. When you are TDing it is difficult to find time to go and have dinner with friends or socialize." Check out last year's report on the Eastern Congress by Elizabeth Vicary.

This year's forecast for the tournament weekend is much better...mid 50's and no snow in sight."
Michael Aigner twittered earlier today. "I'll be in Concord by mid afternoon on Friday. I'm excited! Are you?" Look for his CLO report early next week.
