Well, that was fun. Glad 33 and 548 joined us. Thanks!
Here's my views on the good, the bad, and the ugly.
The good:
- Nice, small regional feel.
- Much smoother than I expected, the volunteers did a GREAT job.
- The volunteers were all so NICE too.
- The second screen in the cafe area was nice to have.
- Good judging. Good judge selection.
The bad (or at least, could be improved):
- Lack of seating. That was inconvenient.
- Lack of power. That was frustrating.
- The sound level was actually painful. We couldn't even talk to the person next to us.
The ugly:
- The number of teams that had trouble getting to the field. I could care less about how that affected the game. (Trust me, I really don't). But I could feel the frustration from the teams. I wish they had more time to prep. Maybe it's just growing pains.
- My team might noogie me for this, shaking more gray hairs loose (hence the ugly), but I like hearing from guest speakers. Please don't get rid of too many.
- You should SEE some of the pictures I got of my team when they were not looking. Talk about ugly.

heh heh heh.
