Re: # not returning to Dow Red Stick Rumble

Yeesh. I'll admit I have no idea how this off-season event was ran - it sounds somewhat poorly from your account. But this could have been posted about in a MUCH more civil manner.

Off-season events aren't the easiest things to run either. Having planned one myself now, it takes a lot of effort to make sure everything runs smoothly. If you attend an off-season event and left with a positive opinion, then the organizers did everything right. That doesn't always happen.

Why not contact the event organizers privately first and suggest improvements? Maybe offer Team Fusion's input next year to make the event run smoother?

I get it - you guys paid money for an event and had a bad experience. I just think there are a few ways to approach improving the situation first before blowing up on Chief Delphi about it.
