Dale,
Just an FYI, CJ Domingo defeated Adam Stegall in Round One of the Top Eight. He withdrew between rounds, stating something to the effect of "I get to play in finals every time, but the two times my buddy [Adam] gets in, I have to be the one to beat him." He spent a lot of time preparing the Asheville team, and was disappointed that they were forced to knock each other out of the fight starting with the second round. Several of the guys who went are heading off to various colleges and grad programs so probably won't get to play in next year's big event.
Is there any chance of a return to the old attempts to not pit venue members against each other for at least a couple of rounds, or at least for visiting players? :-\
Regardless, good job with the event overall. [rockon]
And many thanks to [notworthy] Jeff.
Hope to play y'all again :D
