anddd...... it's full.

I registered at 9:15AM and it was at 160 entries. Surely they'll drop match tours next year, the extremely low entry list of them vs the rush of trying to get registered for the other events is more than enough reason to do so. I actually like match tours, but no one else does :(

I read that the limit is 400, so there's still room. Also the sucess has probably less to do with the format and more with that particular site.

Oh wow, I thought it was capped at 250. Well, Wilmington aside, look at the entry list of the Toledo prosolo vs Peru match tour. I've heard both are great but I don't have any personal experience with them. Would it be safe to say that both locations are comparable to one another?

No insider info, but I would say very good. With that many people, odds are that many have life situations coming up or just a change of heart. There's 3 people gone from STX alone.

There's a wait list for the Tour?! I guess the cap must be around 400 then. Wow. Last I saw registration was around 375 which is pretty big for a tour, but the site is nice. You can write to Brian Harmer (bharmer@scca.com) to ask where you are.

I'm still on the wait list for the Pro with 10 days left. I'm not especially hopeful at this point, though I am in the top 10 and probably around top 5 now.
