Good luck to everyone who attends Arizona states! I was out there for a Cities Championship, and it was one of the funnest events I've been to. Wish I could make it out there for states as well :3. Spookees, keep up the awesome work!
 
Just got back from our Staff Dinner meeting and it sure sounds like we will have huge attendance tomorrow with lots of traveling players too! Would love to see Top 16 in Masters and at least Top 8 in Seniors and Juniors.

See you all in the morning!

Hey Patricia,
Once again what an awesome tournament. Great event went by so fast and smooth.

First time traveling with my whole family to one of your events. It was a good success for all of us.

Thank you for both events Trish.
 
We had a fantastic turn out. Everything went great and I was happy to be on Staff. Thanks for the opportunity Trish. Let's do it again next year ;)
 
Now that I have had a few days to recover from the driving lol. Thanks for the oppurtunity Trish, it was a great weekend.
