It wasnt that bad in all honesty. at first it seemed that way but I think it was fine.

and that is also why they had a social here. the university has the facilities just like Mr. Barker was saying

We has 36 teams last year (and 10 matches) and decided to go up to 44 this year (9 matches). Thus the pits in the back room and a practice field outdoors. But I think it was worth it. It just occurred to me to put Pit Admin in the back and free up another 6 positions out fron, but that would put the Admin a long way away.

If you have ever been to the Champs, anything beats the 1/2 mile walk from the pits.
