We got back to The Woodlands around 2pm this afternoon, we just wanted to tell everyone that we had a blast at Tx states yesterday! It was a long day, but we are used to long tournaments! If you are there late that is usually a good thing! Matthew placed 2nd in Juniors, he was happy after finishing 8th in the swiss rounds! Also a big congrats to Dallas for coming in 1st!:smile:
The store owners and everyone involved in the tournament were very gracious and welcoming! Birch always has A+ staff and support staff. Props to him for that! :thumb: Although, I must say that he always runs super events! And we are a little partial to him at our house anyway! I was happy to see a huge turnout despite the rainy and cold weather.
Danny Fish did an excellent job as head judge! He was running around quite a bit. Come to mention it, so was I, with all of those masters play slips! He seemed happy to be there, it is nice to have him back in TX, where he belongs! :biggrin: Jose, Roy, and Mike also did an excellent job running the Masters, Seniors, and Juniors! Eveyone seemed to have a good time. It is a hard task to run a tournament with 189 people in it and not have many snags!
Good job to all of the winners! In my book, if you show up and play, have fun, do your best -- then no one loses!
We hope to see everyone at Regionals on April 18th with their game faces on! The Sweet's!
