We now have registration information available. Prospective participants can download information about the tournament and registration in the following format:<br /><ul><li><a href="http://www.tesseract.org/go-orlando/ogt/ogt2010-flyer.pdf">PDF in tri-fold flyer format</a> [500K] <span style="font-style: italic;font-size:85%;" >(print on duplex printers only, in landscape mode) </span><br /></li><li><a href="http://www.tesseract.org/go-orlando/ogt/ogt2010-packet.pdf">PDF in 3-page packet format</a> [500K]<a href="http://www.tesseract.org/go-orlando/ogt/ogt2010-packet.pdf"><br /></a></li></ul>These fliers both contain official 2010 OGT registration forms; however, this year we have also added a <a href="http://www.tesseract.org/go-orlando/ogt2010-regform.html">simple web-based registration form</a> for those who prefer that method.<br /><br />Please come! If possible, please bring boards, stones, and <b>clocks</b>. More importantly, bring yourselves and <i>fighting spirit</i>!<br /><br />Paul.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9011662035762855985-7456638564587618333?l=ogt2010.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>R.
