We are now using a version of the game that should assure most of you that we are all playing a fair and open game and that there is no semblance or cause to accuse anyone of cheating and its for this reason that Ive decided to offer the opportunity to those that want to, to take part in the V9BWC 2006

Usual VPHQ tourney rules apply for this tournament....with an exception...3 boot rule is not in operation.
