Remember, the object of this tournament will be to have some fun and stay sober for another day. With that in mind, it is imperative that we police ourselves when it comes to stacking teams with non-alcoholics or non-addicts. Success of this tournament is weighed on our ability to create another reason for the newcommer and ourselves to stay sober. If sobriety is not required, then we have failed.
