Ha! on the biggest fucking stage right? Taking the shuffle to the masses.
Anyway, sorry, I had no time to be on here, I hope you enjoyed it all.
The first two days were shitty with the rain, but the last day made up for it. I would have liked to have commentated more, but just no time.
Overall it was a great tournament. The players were really responsive to the tough scheduling, they turned up at 8:15 when I said 8:30 and only one out of the initial 12 games was moved from the normal order. We finished half the games before midday, and had so much time to cut courts, and give people breaks.
Reffing was awesome. Will from Mosquito made the tough call in the Beavers - Portland game. Yes, it cost Beavers the game, but it was their fault, Dillman gooned, and as a hockey ref, Will had no problem making the unpopular call. Maybe next time he won't make that play... I've never seen so many people get called on bullshit, and actually given penalties.
NA really stepped it up from last year, most professional tournament I've been part of from all parties.
