2014 Split-Regional, Metropolis IL

The Unit 223 Board of Directors recently learned that we have lost our venue at Harrah's Metropolis. A search for an available and affordable replacement venue was unsuccessful, and the Unit Board voted with regret to cancel our half of the 2014 Regional. Please note that the other half of the Split-Regional (The Great Sizzlin Illinois Regional in Crystal Lake IL) WILL GO ON AS PLANNED and will be a full regional event this year. We expect to resume hosting a regional tournament in 2015.
