Thanks for the support from all of the clubs that attended today. This was our first tournament as a club and we had a great turnout and put together some great brackets with equal competition. Even though we had a few no shows we still started on time and was out of there at a decent hour. As far as the officials are concerned I think that Brent and his crew did a great job. We did have an issue with having to add an additional mat surface a few days ago so that combined with a few officials that called in today because of the snow put us in a bind. We had two options 1. Take breaks throughout the day (which no one wants) to give officials a break or 2. call in a couple of hard working young guns to help officiate. I think we made the right call and I can tell you as a former official that it inst as easy as it looks and I personally think that every coach should have to officiate a tourney or two to find this out. For the most part our young guys did a great job and I only know of a couple complaints and Brent addressed them immediately (if they were brought to the table in the proper fashion). We learned what we could do better next year and will only get stronger and better from today. Once again we appreciate everyone that came to visit us and hope to see you all again next season.
