JSU Tiger Knights officers and advisors met today to think about events in Spring and Fall of 2016. We intend to meet more regularly this Spring with more "skittles" games (unrated) on campus. We will also schedule some rated tournaments and will host a scholastic tournament again this Spring with MSCA. JSU Tiger Knights' next meeting will be on Monday at 3 in the Student Center, first floor.
