Re: General Post MARC discussion

Definitely can agree that heat was an issue, but I don't know if there is all that much more that can be done. I'm not sure about the length, it felt long but I was at the side of the field the whole day so it would seem longer. I suppose it depends how the teams felt about it.

I would suggest, however, that we cut the mentor rounds down to four teams of three. I think it was a bit much at the end of quals on Friday to sit through that many mentor rounds, and I noticed many people left to go to the pig roast anyways. I think cutting some of the mentor matches would free up a bit more time for socializing.

I think those are the only real negatives I could think of. The teams were fantastic, the volunteers were generally on the ball, and Chris did a great job as head ref, and both of our announcers were great. Grant did a particularly good job keeping the energy going even with delays, and made sure the crowd was never bored.

Thanks so much to Steve and his crew for getting this whole thing running smoothly. So far every year MARC has grown, but managed to still be a smoothly run event, and has been a blast each year. I'm sure it will be even better next year.
