We have planned for a mix-and-match of days and times, so that nobody will have trouble fulfilling the five (5) Series entries.  Please mention if more than one of these dates are impossible for you.  There is a surge of activity between January 9 and 17, with four tournaments in that short span.  The hope is that every player will knock out at least one of their required sessions in that span, putting everybody into a competitive mood, right off the bat.

Of course, anyone is welcome and encouraged to participate in more than just the mandatory minimum; the "extra entries" simply won't count toward the Jackpot Challenge.  Just to make clear, there is no single tournament where all of us are required to be present.  We will pick and choose.  Some tourneys, maybe all of us will be there.  Other tourneys might only see one or two of us present.  The Series will run from January through March 16, 2008.  That will leave the rest of Springtime for our Jackpot Challenge winner to go make a fortune at a big tourney.
