The Arizona Contingent
The Cactus Classic is a tournament held in Arizona ever year. The Classic started in 1991, when two owners from California traveled to play two owners from Arizona. It became a yearly tradition after that. Many teams have participated in the tourney. Owners come to talk trade, play some games , and eat some grub.
