Re: BOILERMAKER comments or suggestions

The only negatives i noticed at the competition was:
*You could not here the announcer over the music at times
*There was not enough space in the stands for people to watch (i know many people that resorted to standing and going to the pits and watching on the web cast, and there were also people who watched the TV back in the pits)
*There were no real restrooms, just porta potty things, and you had to wash your hands in the cold, using cold water.
*I also noticed during a few of the matches that the refs did not call a penalty when they should have (there were a couple times that there was huge safety violations, and no penalty was called)
*The guage of wire they were using to supply power to everyone in the pits was not very thick. Especially considering the fact that you have lights, chargers, laptops, and many power tools running off of it.

Other than those things everything was great. I hope to see those things improve next year when i am there. I had a really great and fun time while attending the boilermaker regional.
