Not on the official site and no one on the Little Rock staff seems to know. It appears that only 8 teams will go. Will it be a “normal” tournament (1 vs 8, etc.) or will there be byes? Will men and woman play on the same or alternate days? They have indicated the tournament will last 5 days. Format will determine how many hotel nights I book. I am hopeful that LR will finish in the top 3 or 4 but who really knows.

Did you find any different than this? I believe this is what it has been, except for site/date/location. Not sure about Men and women exact scheduling other than it supposedly says they will run concurrently.
