see you there! you guys did a tremendous job last year, even considering the weather.

Thanks so much, Jay. Last year was very challenging due to the wonderful NWO spring weather, but we can't thank all the participating coaches and teams enough for their patience and understanding.

Very much looking forward to seeing you back in May!

once again, a flawless tournament. great job to the sharks org.

one example of the attention to detail that's really a difference maker in how to run a quality tournament - traffic updates. that's right, TD communicates potential traffic delays to coaches. not a big deal but if you take all of the 'not a big deal' things that the sharks pay attention to, it makes for a flawless tournament.

if you're looking for a memorial day tournament next year, don't miss this one.

Jay, can't thank you enough for the compliment. We take a lot of pride in how we run things. Each year we meet to see what worked, and what didn't. We sincerely want any input on how we can make things better. Even though we've been doing this for 17 years, we never believe we have it down to a science. Just like we tell our coaches, if you think you know everything, perhaps it's time to step aside.

Again, many thanks. And what you're doing in Springfield is fantastic! Had a chance to watch you guys a few times and was very impressed. Keep up the great work!

Brad & co.
