Last time I checked an opinion was an opinion. I have never known an opinion to be wrong. But when you go to the same people a few years in a row and have the same issues? 2 years in a row I have had a bad experience at the same place. Same issues. You are right it is not about the medals and brackets, someone said something about they're not in it to profit, then if they aren't then why are they getting cheaper and cheaper on awards and charging higher entry fees? That money is going somewhere. I'm not saying it is going to someone personally, but I am saying people are seeing $$$$. I am not going to keep my OPINION to myself good or bad. If you don't like it, then ignore it. If you run a crappy tournament then people should know about it. If you run a good tournament people should know as well. I think we're all a little past the good job certificate stage, but i'll be more than happy to print off something if it will make you all warm and fuzzy inside and not hurt your feelings.
