Is it possible to have a tournament where someone does not get on this forum and complain?

As the lady from Chanute well knows, there are many, many responsibilities with running a successful tournament, and mistakes are always made due to the "human element" being involved.

If a youngster received an incorrect medal, and the color of the medal is SO important, I am certain a simple request to the tournament director prior to leaving the tournament would have been sufficient.

First Derby, then Chanute, now Eureka!

It has been my experience tournament directors are always frazzled by tournament end due to the pressure of running a successful tournament and always attempting to accommodate a reasonable request.

Good luck in the future to all tournament directors, and I hope if all this bashing continues, we will still have tournament directors.
