NATIONAL JUNIOR OLYMPIC TOURNAMENT
It is rather disappointing that there are NO results or any updates in the StarTribune. I know the StarTribune is having a financial crisis. Maybe that is the reason they can't even put in basic scores.
I went yesterday and will put up stats and photos later today. I had to sort out over 300 photos I took in two games. If you remember last fall I tried to take photos in the state tournament, but that was on a slow camera. Now I have a new SLR and did some experimenting yesterday. You can check later today.
Anyway
