OMG, I registered for an OTB tournament

Last tournament I went to there were maybe 50 players in the open section, and the average age was probably 14. I'd love for there to be some ALTO in my area.

Like you said, losing to kids doesn't matter to me at all. That's been part of the game since forever, but you can't talk to kids (at least for me it's uninteresting and annoying) so like you said there's no socializing.
Good luck getting back in the saddle!

Hopefully this bodes well for USATE 2024. :)
Good luck, I think it is very good that u are doing this and I hope You will Win!
