I must first say that I am a Derby Parent and I am very proud of the way the Tournament was ran. Just like everything in life you learn as you go!!! I have no doubt that the things that could be changed for the better will be and the things that worked great will continue to be there. You are right SPEX when you have 1000 kids in a tournament there will be mistakes and to consider the tournament a sucess you have to look at the big picture and that is, did the KIDS had fun. I believe they did. Lets be happy that there was alot of parent's and other family members there to cheer on thier child and their team. We can't be happy with evrything... GREAT JOB DERBY!!!
