Noticing a short field...

[verbophage]

Anyone else going to Oregon Tile that isn't on the list? Or has the SDO poached the field of Open-goers in the West by landing on an adjacent weekend

I'm surprised how big the CSW division is. Those seem to be bad for Opens.

I might come. CSW, natch.

I'll be there ... not that it will affect the top of the field.

I think poaching is an entirely overargumentative word to use in this situation, especially when you know I'm reading, as well as the fact that Dave, Chris and I discussed this before either of us announced our 2012 tournaments

OK, admittedly your scheduling got a bit wedged by whatever other things you have going, and likely so did Dave. The two of you may well have had no other available weekends from your own perspective but the ones that were taken. Apologies if this is what happened, I'm not much of a mindreader from this distance (is anyone?)
Also, for all I know O-Tile contestants are a VERY late-signing lot. When I looked last night the main division had 16 players (this morning 17). As Joey noted, the CSW division isn't helping (14 when I last looked) but that still means the current O-Tile line-up (for all groups) is smaller than just the main division last year, barring everyone signing up in the final weeks. Where are they? (Upon further review, you only have about 60. Something else is also at work that I'm not seeing

Jesse Day mentioned last night that he might be going to OT.

I am not going because I have finals the same week.
