It's going to be interesting to see who is going to take top honor's in this year's Tour'ney. In the TARA Tour'ney, the contestants are competing for the honor of emerging as the crowned "King or Queen" of the digital modes. The scores to achieve this are an aggregate of all their individual Tour'ney credits derived from their scores from the four (4) TARA All Season Contests. Each contest is a separate entity and has its own awards. The results of each will be displayed on the Tara Results web page where you will find the results of all the contests for the Tour'ney year as they are run. The results so far can be seen at: (_http://www.n2ty.org/seasons/tara_tourney_results.html_ (http://www.n2ty.org/seasons/tara_tourney_results.html) ) If you want to learn more about the Tour'ney please go to: (_http://www.n2ty.org/seasons/tara_tourney.html_ (http://www.n2ty.org/seasons/tara_tourney.html) ) For all of you that love to chase awards TARA has you covered!
