2008 Texas State Open Classic
October 24-26
Southfork Hotel
Plano, Texas
 

The dates are confirmed for the 2008 TSO! It will be held again at the Southfork Hotel in Plano, Texas just a few minutes north of Dallas. The Southfork was so pleased with the number of attendees that stayed in the hotel last year, they have upgraded our event room for free! Please help us keep the secure the benefits of a great host by staying at the hotel if you are traveling from out of town,  There is a block of rooms reserved under "2008 Texas State Air Hockey" for $79 per night. This hotel is very nice and there are plenty of restaurants very close by! Check it out at www.southforkhotel.com!

 
The tournament will be played on Chris Green's beautifully restored classic Brunswick tables set on free play. For those who missed last year's event, or have never played on a Brunswick, these are awesome table and well worth the trip to the TSO just for the experience. Match format will be the standard best 4 of 7 games.

 

 

 

 

 

 
 
In lieu of a high cost banquet, Chris is planning to host a cook-out at his house just a few miles from the venue. . Keep this in mind as you are making plans for the weekend. 
 
Play Puck!
