Rook Tournanament Director Ken Burton expects a "lower than normal turnout" for the 2007 Tournament as many teams have been split up due to summer obligations. "We will be somewhere around 9-12 teams participation wise if some split teams join together," Burton said. "For the below average player like me it will give us a better chance."
Since 1995 there have been at least 14 teams participate in each Rook Tournament. The most ever to play was twenty one in the 2004 Tournament while just nine played in the 1989 Tournament.
