Don't forget, this is the final contest  for this year's "Four  Season's 
Tour'ney." It's going to be interesting  to see who is going to take top 
honor's 
in this year's Tour'ney. In the TARA  Tour'ney, the contestants are competing
for the honor of emerging as the  crowned "King or Queen" of the digital 
modes. 
 
The scores to achieve this are an  aggregate of all their individual Tour'ney 
credits  derived from their  scores from the four (4) TARA All Season 
Contests. 
Each  contest is a  separate entity and has its own awards. The results of 
each 
will be   displayed on the Tara Results web page where you will find the 
results 
of  all  the contests for the Tour'ney year as they are run. The results so  
far can be  seen at: (_http://www.n2ty.org/seasons/tara_tourney_results.html_
