From our friend Jim O'Kelley, big shot with the Windy City Weasels, comes the following announcement:

The Windy City Weasels will be hosting their second annual CODCon Open at the CODCon gaming convention on the College of Dupage campus in Glen Ellyn, Ill. http://www.codcon. com/. Jim will be directing the three-round tournament, which will be held April 12-13. Exact times of the rounds to be determined. Once they finalize the details, they'll post on their club's Yahoo group, http://games. groups.yahoo. com/group/ ChicagoDip/ ; and on their club website, http://umbreho. dyndns.org/ wcw/index. htm.

The 2008 CODCon Open will be part of the 2008 North American Grand Prix circuit.

The 2007 event featured nine boards over three rounds. They hope to top that in 2008, so please come out and join the fun. Players of all skill levels welcome. Mark your calendars now!

Mike French won the 2007 CODCon Open. If that hack can do it, why can't you?
