For completeness (I think), I'll point out that the full time staff included Robin Horton and Kaitlin -- don't know her last name -- Rory's wife's cousin -- who has been working for 6 years. Even though she's very young and probably doesn't play BG, she is really (quietly) in control. A friend of Rory's worked in the break/food room. Although Jeb helped some with the draws I think that was gratis -- not officially on the staff AFAIK.

Having said that, I was going through my mind of all the tournaments I've attended counting the number of staff in each. I think this is the record for fewest full time staff (three) that I can remember, and since most of those are only 2-day main events, what Rory and staff did is even more unusual. IMO, the stress on Rory in particular but also on the rest of the staff is pretty high, but they did handle things quite well. A tournament promoter director obviously has to make the decisions but for his own health I hope he takes your advice, David.
