Houston Bound

Do any of you H-Towners know if there is still much men's FP going on in the city? It's been 18 years since I played FP there, but some of my fondest memories from my younger days involve playing in Lawrence Mesa's Father's Day tournament and the Houston Chronicle tournament each year.

I think there is one league.

The last year I was in Houston, 2002, the tournament that somone mentioned was restricted to Latin players and was known as a Latino tournament. I would venture that it is still restricted but have not talked to anyone from there since 2003. About the only exception that was allowed then was if you married a latin women if you were non-latin by birth. Teams came from Mexico to play and there are two age brackets, one for younger guys and one for the 40 and over folks. The 40 and over folks may still have a small group of teams that play around 5-6 tournaments in the summer. There may even still be a league that plays on Thursdays. I played in that one in 2000. The point of contact is Albert Arrondo. He is listed in Houston's ASA as a point of contact for men's FP.
