I thought the announcer and the MC at UTC Hartford were very good. They definitely kept the crowd entertained and informed.
We will be attending the SBPLI Long Island Regional again this year and are VERY Hopeful that there will be a new MC. The person doing it last year had no clue as to what the game entailed and seemed to think that the teams were comprised of 5th graders. At least that's how he spoke to and treated them.
There oughta be a rule that MC's and announceers have to attend a regional prior to theirs
The Granite State regional could serve as a very good training ground for future (or budding) announcers and MC's IMHO
