Great tournament. 6 matches by 2:00 and out for the rest of the day. Great Job.
Thanks very much. Thanks to all who came.
It was great to see Nathan Furches back on the mat again!
Are there any final results you can post?
Yes, working on that this morning. Was going to do it last night, but had to take my son to ER for staples in his head, banged his head last night outside.
They will be up within next couple hours.
Will get on them now, just got back in.
