Texas Tournament

Ok...I've convinced myself to do it. I'm going to put in for the vacation to participate in the Texas Tournament.

Now a question...how does one prepare for such an event and how do I properly transport the boards, counter trays, etc. to the event?  Do you roll a suitcase in there?  Exactly what is customary at such events.

Keep in mind, this is a huge leap for me. I've never attended any kind of tournament and haven't played ASL against a new opponent since 1997.

So, I'll be as rusty as the tin man after a nice long monsoon.

As always appreciate the insights!
