New Jersey 08873

Here are some amazing features:

•Situated on 16 manicured acres, in the thriving business community of Somerset, NJ

•Just 35 minutes from Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR)

Collusion of any kind with your competitors is considered cheating. If the Tournament Director determines that any competitor is colluding to manipulate the results or intentionally underperforming, the collaborating players may be immediately disqualified. This determination is to be made at the sole discretion of the Tournament Director. Anyone disqualified in this manner forfeits all rights to any titles or prizes they might have otherwise earned for that tournament.
