Hey peeps! What an AWESOME Event!! They just kept coming in, even after we officially started! We even had a couple
more latecomers that weren't on my original list who said they had been driving around looking for the Women's Club and couldn't find it for the longest time, and then I realized I hadn't gotten the sign outside! :redface: In the end, we had
83 players!!
We had several brand new players too, thanks to "Marriland's Pokemon 101 Class" before the tourney. Dev did a great job teaching the excited new players as they entered their first Pokemon Event. A couple of them didn't quite catch on enough to make it into the
first round, but were able to join into the next round. And they'll all be back for more events since they had such a great time!
I swear our events are always like a big reunion! Everyone seemed to have a great time and the room was full of some really top players!
First off, my deepest thanks to my Judges... Devin, Keny, Eric and Adam... we couldn't do any of this without all of your dedication and support! You guys are the BEST!! And I mean that sincerely!
And thanks to Jimmy B for being such a good sport and signing autographs for those who were thrilled to find out they had such a celebrity in the room! It meant a lot to them, that was nice of you!
Also I've got to mention that the crowd we had was such a great one... with so many people, a couple of cell phones and IPods got accidentally left here and there, but each one got turned in by honest players so that everyone got all their stuff back!
And thankfully, there were no police at this one! lol :wink:
