Masters

Well what an amazing day we had! We filled every seat we had for players and ended up with 125! We'd definitely need a bigger place for any more than that! Players came from all over the region, perfect example in our 1st place winners - one from IA, one from IL, and one from WI. I'll have the pics and videos up shortly (Facebook kept stalling out when I tried to upload them earlier >.<) Sure was a lot of fun! Was great to see everyone again! So many Pokemon friends!

I also gave away some Pokemon hats that I made! Everyone seemed to like them, we had a lot of players sign up to enter!

Pokemon hats

The winners were:

The Shinx hat - Jessica J
The Charmander hat - Chuck L
The Piplup hat - Justin W
The Mew hat - Michelle L

We had lots of other cool door prizes we gave away (some really cool ones donated by our good friends Keith & Christina) and we also had a free Modified side event while the Top cuts were going on. The winners of that event were:

1st Jordan C
2nd Clark C
3rd Jozell F


We had a pretty smooth day, with the exception of an early printer problem before the tourney started, an issue involving a pair of tongs and a baggie (don't ask, I won't tell, smiley lol), and last but not least, topped off with the fact that after we got things all cleaned up and were ready to leave, my van didn't start >.< Ended up having it towed back to Beloit. Oh well.

Huge thanks to my Staff - Devin, Keny, Derrick, Ryan, Bob, and Natalie (and James too for all his help moving tables and things! Thanks to all of them for being there for me and helping be a part of this great event!

Judges

 

Especially Devin - I couldn't do it without you - all your long hours getting everything set up Friday then broken down late Sat, your brainstorming beforehand, your dedication to fair rulings, and help with whatever I need! I appreciate it!

Devin
