Wow, what a fun event!

I have to thank the Beach Blitz Planning Committee for putting on such an amazing competition and for showing what a few, young, dedicated people can accomplish. Everyone was having a good time, from the scorer's table to the teams. All the volunteers were in a good mood the whole weekend (I think the free Snapple helped). I would gladly have this committee run any regional or district event (hint hint).

Big shoutout to Cooler Master for keeping the excitement up with their raffle, giveaways, and booth.

I had the honor of being a ref and I would like to thank Eric for showing us new refs how it's done and how to make fair calls, while keeping with the spirit of the event. I would also like to thank our Head Ref, Saikiran, for being cooperative with the rest of us and listening to our input. I'm totally hooked on reffing now and will be volunteering in the future because of this event.
