The Inland Northwest Klassic (INK) is not affiliated with any one club. Instead, INK is run and supported by the tournament directors from several of the clubs in Spokane area.

Our mission is two fold. We look to provide our region with a large multi-site tournament that is well run and that we hope will provide a great late season experience for players in Washington, Idaho and Montana. The second part of our mission is to raise money to for grants and scholarships that support Evergreen Region players and clubs.
