The Long Wait Is Over

After weeks of no news reports from the Pot Game Gazette, we are happy to report the staff is back and hard at work.  In an effort to keep you abreast of all that has gone on for the last month we sent our best reporter to dig out the score cards from the archive from week two to present day to bring you all up to date.
