A promotion for this instructional DVD recently landed in my inbox.  Looks like it is worth checking out.

BC Tournament Calendar

posted on 1:05 PM, September 9, 2009
The BCFA has done a good job this year of getting clubs to pre-announce their tournament dates before the season begins.  I have copied the pre-announced events to the calendar, along with very brief outlines of the events that are expected.

This information should be considered tentative, considering how early it is in the season.  Note that there are also a few events that the BCFA has pre-announced, but which do not have dates at this time.  I will add those once the dates firm up, and update the other events as new information comes to me.

Non-BCFA events (eg. CFF and Washington events) of interest are also included.

To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentation of the women.

Apparently Arnold's role model for being governor of California is not the Terminator, but Conan the Barbarian, and he keeps his sword handy.
