Re: 2009 MARC EVENT NOW OPEN
.An e-mail sent to me that I thaught I should post:

"I looked at the informational page for MARC and I saw that it is starting at 1 on Friday. Will those be full matches or just practice?"

-Jack

my reply:

"I am looking at how many teams we get and how many qualification matches we want to have. I perfer to have at least 8 matches each. I want to let teams come in early and get practice then possibly start quals around 4 - 730. This is something that I am going to pass out to the teams after I get the spots fill. To see what they think. Since we are talking about this, What is you take on it? "

The more matches you get to play the better. If we are going 4-7:30 we will most likely be able to get in 8 or 9. You should probably throw it out to teams right now, because it could change their plans. I am really excited for MARC and the pig roast sounds like a great idea.

This is what makes these offseason events so good. We all have inputs that influence the event. What do other teams think of having the actual qualification matches start on Friday from 4-7:30, then pick-up more matches Saturday morning and have open practice rounds from 1-4 on Friday?

Thanks Jack
