Boy oh Boy the late start stank.
The delays stank.
I am sure the sheer numbers of players had something to do with it.
FYI the attendance was (aprox) AFAIR
15+ 150
11-14 60
10- 40
A Few Slops:
the player who didnt want me to cut his deck stank.
the player who drew a hand and looked at it then rolled a dice to see who goes first and got upset when i asked him to put the hand back and reshuffle and that we should decide who goes first before seeing our hands..stank
the player who refused to show me how many cards were in hand before playing a stevens advice...stank
the player who quickly scooped up the three prizes off the table when the judges called time , to my two prizes. and looked me dead in the eye and said " So thats a tie".....stank
<end slops>
I had alot of patience with POP for all the shortcommings with this event.Gee wow, what a big event. ya gotta admidt there is always gonna be some clusterflubbing when its that large. PES and PUI staffs were trying dang hard. I forgive them and I truely think they learned from the experience. I am sure the next event will be better. Their efforts and attitude were not lost on me.
But ....ugh......The player problems really threw me off. Thay upset me to no end. I have never experienced this level of underhanded BS (ok, ok, ok.... cheating) in my life. These angered me so much I was not able to concentrate the rest of the evening. They were still on my mind when I went to sleep. (OH BTW those incidents were in one game ) I was soooooooo angered by this and did my best not to act like I was young and stupid and in college and go off on the clown. It really effected my play the rest of the day. I almost just dropped. I am glad I played because my friends told me not to drop. I am glad I listened. I had the pleasure of meeting a nice young fellow from St Louis, the "Jersey Girl" from exit 19 and many others. I am still not convinced that we saw the real Zuver. The fellow posing as him did not look at all like I had imagined
Props to my friends and all the fun the kids had being together ALL day.
Props to Steve keeping the event from becoming unglued.
Props to anyone in a Blaziken coordinated outfit and endearing themself to my youngest.
Props to meeting some of the boards greatest posters.
Props to Mike, pete and Jimmer for the ambitious programs this year (I hope it gets better for us and you.)
PROPS TO AJ YOU GOT IT DUDE!!! Also BTW you took great care of your brother. I hope my eldest treats his brother like you do yours in a few years. You a classy young man and a great Big Bro.
Props to PUI and Mike... I am very excited for leagues this fall.... It sunds great.
Props for getting parking in a sweet spot that was easy to go get lunches and supplies from the car
