In Response To: Congrats Ray! Congrats to DC event! (Jason Lee)

Thanks, Jason, for a wonderful event.

I commiserate with you. Many just have no idea how difficult it is to run a tournament and everything one has to go through and to put up with.

Generally, players are great people and most are considerate, good natured, etc.

But there are a few who, I think mostly cluelessly and unintentionally, can be very inconsiderate (to the tournament, to the directors, and to other players) and can be real jerks.

I talked quite a bit with Jason late in the day Sunday. We shared experiences with what might be the most frustrating part of a tournament for directors -- and I think other directors will agree. You can ask Player A to stand right here, your match is ready, I'll find your opponent. You go off for a minute or two to find the opponent, Player B, and drag him/her back to the spot you left Player A. Player A is gone !!. So, you tell Player B to stand right here while I find Player A. You go find Player A, drag him/her back, to then only find that Player B has wandered off. And so it goes. On and on and on all weekend.

Jason said it happened to him innumerable times this weekend in DC. And it happened to me innumerable times squared in San Antonio. Players must be more patient and cooperative in helping directors execute a tournament.

All of the staff in DC did great jobs. Barry, Jason, Bill Pow, Barry's family, and other are due a great deal of thanks and appreciation for busting their backsides to provide us all another great tournament experience.
