I would love to go to this, but cannot possibly make it before the registration closes and the night battle begins. I can't see driving all the way to B-H just for one small battle in the afternoon.

Yuri,

Actually we have multiple battles depending on how much everyone wants to fight.

There is just the one spectator battle but tactical fights are not on the schedule for the public.

Last year we had the Friday night fight plus two more tactical fights with one being Saturday afternoon/evening and Sunday morning.

I am sure that we could fit more in if we want to and Mark is made aware of it ahead of time.

sincerely,

Dima

OK, I just saw the two battle listed above. Let me think about it, that would be quite a haul to make after working all week, and all that day. I'm going through internship certification and it might hit me hard about then. We'll see how it pans out.

Yuri,

I understand completely.

The real world always comes first since it makes the fantasy world possible and so attractive. LOL!

Sincerely,
