2. FLOOR PASSES/COACHES' BANDS - this too should been handled much better on our part. I assure you that it will be done the right way next year, with much more preparation.
4. FLOOR CONGESTION - for the most part the floor wasn't too congested, but we feel we can still improve on this come next year. Having 14 full mats on the floor provided us with 16 different surfaces, but also cut into any excess room we would have. During our clean-up we were already planning a better layout for our future tournaments.

Derek, our club, like maybe most, have a parent or two whom we would never allow to coach for us and would prefer not to be on the floor. When a tournament sells floor passes to non-coaches, it takes our oversight and discretion out of the picture and to a degree defeats one of the reasons for background checks. I understand why tournaments sell the floor passes to non-coaches but it does bring with it a liability, at least in reputation, our club would prefer not to suffer. Please rethink selling floor passes.
