Event Information
Greetings!
On behalf of Jody Godard and Sunmesa Events we invite you to the first ever Grand Prix Albuquerque.
Closing out the 2013 season for the United States will be a high stakes event for many players. Our goal is to provide a GP which thrills and satisfies all stakeholders.
A key to that goal is forging a judge staff that is fondly recalled by all. Yates said: “There are not strangers here only friends we have not yet met.” That theme particularly applies to #GPABQ judges. We hope that teamwork, development, customer service and pure fun will make lasting friendships for all our staff and players.
Who’s Coming Already:
Tournament Organizer: Jody Godard
Head Judge: Toby Elliott
Judge Manager: Kevin Binswanger
Event Manager: Glenn Godard
