Title: Quick survey of play groups
Post by: NWJosh on February 12, 2009, 04:19:24 PM: Ok a few weeks ago I had a little closed tourney here and Ben "DaClock" came down to play. When he go here he noticed I had quite a few girls in my play group and half heartedly said I probably had the most girls in any one play group so I'm putting it to the test. Let me first give notice to everyone my youth group is strongly female dominated in numbers so that is the reason why I have so many females. Anyways in my play group of 25 or so players I believe about 15 of them are female. How many females do other play groups have?

Anywho, I think the Wolfe sisters are the only girls that play at the Arcadia tournies (though I see Kurt's sister has a couple RNRS points, so there may be a third to watch out for...).
