Ryan, thanks for the suggestion, I will pass that to Trish.
To everyone else, sorry, I am still bushed, so I am not going to respond to all the posts separately. I will say this though.
The event did have problems - TOM deciding to pair all 7 rounds at one time really messed things up for operations. That required a basic restart of the event at that point.
243 total players was huge... way bigger than we were expecting. We did not have enough people to handle those numbers - period. That was an issue that will be addressed in the future. Also, having a clear cut staff is going to be addressed. I did not know who was working the event until I got there and is a couple cases, that was not even clear.
To the Staff - Patricia, Chrisbo, Tonja, Dwayne, Simba, Duke, Erin, Ronae, Stephen, Christine, sadly I know there are others there too, Thank you. You guys did an excellent job, even with all the challenges.
To the players - thanks for showing up. You guys being there showed us how popular this event really is. There were problems, but as Troy pointed out, that should be expected at any event. Thanks to those that stuck it out.
This was the first time in my participation of this event that we ran swiss instead of single elim, we made this change for you guys. We are always looking to better the events for the players. We have learned a lot from this one and they will be better in the future.
