We thank Bob Linn for donating $5000 toward a new CSW incentive program at the Crescent City Cup this year.
First, $400 will be given to the first five players to sign up for the CSW division who have played in five or fewer CSW tournaments between 1/1/22 and 1/1/25! All other "new" to CSW players will receive $300. All will receive the choice of a CCC25 mug, tote, or cap.
Additional funds will go to other incentives:
Additional spot prizes for "new players"
Increased prize pool based on number of "new" players and which divisions they're in.
Additional donation if we get more than 10 "new" players!
