Planning an offseason competition is one of the hardest things to do. There is so much work to be done and not everyone sees/knows what it is, so thank you to all the Blitz workers for putting on a great event.

On to the good:
Arena was nice
Well organized
Teams there were great, Friendly and competitive.
Location was easy to find.
BBQ lunch was awesome! Thank you!
Parking Garage was convenient. (we paid $17.00 to park all day, BUT we also went to the Red Sox game after the Blitz so we parked there until 11:30pm)
I liked the addition of the 10 point balls into the game, made it interesting! (we may borrow this idea for Fall Fury).

I do have one bad thing, (that you guys had no control over)
No whistles should be allowed! There was one person there who blew a whistle whenever their team was competing, It was so LOUD! I am all for cheering your team on but boy those whistles can really hurt your ears!
In all, I thought the Blitz was a huge sucess and we are definately planning on returning next year!
I know... I don't know who that was... She was I guess supporting our team... Most of us have never seen her before and it really was annoying... We tried to get her to stop but I don't know... I had no clue on who she was... She was wearing our shirt and sitting behind us... I'm so sorry for the whistle... We had no idea on how to get her to stop because we did not know who she was... I'm definitly going to talk with the team leader and see about that... Again I'm sorry for that absurd noise... I promise the whistle will not be at the next event we go to or anyother that we go to...

my thoughts on the competition-
it was perfect!!! I have no complaints accept for the whistle that was there for our team... It was a great comp. and I hope it will continue to run year after year... Great job to Erin and all that made it possible...

Also: I don't know about anyone else but we had no problem getting to the BBQ... we followed the signs... hmmm... We just used the map that was given to us... FOOD WAS GREAT!!! Loved the boston baked beans!!!

Bad thing-
I forgot to get a shirt!!!! :0(
