Ok. One more very important item on my agenda. My HUGE appreciation and thanx to all of the judges,staff, and guest judges. You all were very professional, did an outstanding job, and were instrumental in making the largest Stadium Challenge in the US a rousing success. I couldn`t have done it without you and you are all welcome to help judge/staff any of my future events. Great job!
Furthermore, I want to say a huge great sportsmanship to the players. I heard very few problems and an "Honorary" Good sportsman award goes to John W for conceding his top 4 match to Chris when Chris would have won just after time was called. Way to go! You are an example of a player what everyone should strive to be.
I also want to extend a special thanks to Joel H, Bob, and Greg S for helping out with the contests and the side events. Thank you very much! Also, if I forgot anyone, please forgive me and know that I extend my thanks and appreciation as well!
Thnaks for the fun event everyone and see you at World`s!
