From Jack of Top-Stud
As many of you know, we've missed a week of Top-Stud, and there have been concerns that Cereus' new stricter policy for their private games might put the kibosh on the ol' Top-Stud league once and for all. I'm happy to announce that's not the case.
It's true that Cereus is holding their regular affiliate tournaments to a minimum 20 person turnout to continue holding games, and we had a few games--not many, but they were there--that fell below that mark, so they are paring us back to two games a month until we turn that around completely. Not the ideal solution, but a solution nevertheless.
So, we're going to take one more week off--I fear placing a game on the schedule with less than a week advance notice would result in another underachieving game--and come back on the 17th with an all-new 6th cycle. As of the time of this writing, here's how the schedule is going to pan out:
17 March - $25 Added Top-Stud 6.0: 7 card Stud at Cereus (your choice your choice

Full TiltYou'll note the inclusion of Full Tilt to the schedule, to help us keep it to a weekly format. This was not the plan overall, but I feel we may be able to utilize this new schedule to bring new teams and new players to the league.
