Missouri State 3-Move Open
The Missouri State 3-Move Tournament was scheduled to be held Saturday, May 22nd at the East Hills Shopping Center, here in St. Joseph. Imagine our surprise when we got to the mall a little after 8 to find a sign on the door stating the doors would open at 10:00 a.m. A few days prior to the tournament we had a email from the mall showing we would be there starting at 8:30 till the close of the tournament. We made a quick decision to go to our house and have the tournament there. We had no idea who all would be attending so we hope we located all the players. After half an hour delay, play was underway with 7 players: 3 from Nebraska and 4 from Missouri.
