Hats off to all of the Pittsburg volunteers, especially to Kevin & Stacy Seybold. The full size mat situation we all get to enjoy is well worth the drive. As far as moving matches is concerned, it is difficult to do that and not disrupt the flow because of the required rest time between matches. Stacy is right, if you haven't ever ran a tournament you shouldn't be complaining. It is a huge effort to get volunteers, mats, food, organizers, cooperation, time, etc. I know Kevin took vacation to get this tournament setup. How many of you would give a day of vacation to work for free?!

I thought the tournament was great. Okay, one small complaint from my son, the brackets were, in his words, "cheesy". Kids!!

THANKS PITTSBURGH !!!
