Maybe after its over Hutch and Buhler will jump on here and talk about how it went this year with their combined tournament.
I guess I can only speak from my side Team Lightning, but the combo effort went great imo.
Jeremy and the Hutch guys can give you their take on it. I doubt it will be different than the feedback I have already gotten from them.
The details are still be worked out (financials) but all in all, we were done setting up earlier than ever, the tear down was great and both club's parents worked very hard.
Granted it isn't for everyone and having relatives from each club involved help break the ice is a lot easier.
The communication started with clear expectations from both clubs. Listed out the responsibilities and then assigned them.
With date so hard to find for a 400 kid tournament, this worked out great for us. We will make very close to what our tournament would have made and helped Hutch be successful with the amount of new or un-experienced parents.
Will this be the thing of the future, I hope because I thought it went very well.
