I don't know if I have or not,but working this one wasn't much fun for me.it wasn't the fault of the match. It is me time off is warrented.
Mike deserves some time off after that iron man session he pulled at running nearly every competitor. It was great working with both of the Mike's and being only my second big match ROing I learned a lot.
I did have to take Monday off as a mental stress day but after a relaxing motorcycle ride my batteries are recharged and I ready for another one!
Maybe there should be some more RO certification classes. Sounds like guys are getting burned out. Even at local matches it's always the same guys that have to RO.
I would take the class if it was more local. I could be wrong, but the only one I've seen the last few years is always down near Kentucky. Just my 2 cents....
I appreciate all the comments, and discussion about this
The pretty simple fact is that the many enjoyed the efforts of the few
I have been very lucky to have had many of the same people over the last 7 years dedicated to making sure that this match has happened. I had several new people step up this year to help, several that were already signed up as competitors that changed their minds and switched over to staff.
If we would have had 1 or 2 less RO's not show there would not have been a match. That is how close it got....
For 7 Months I stood at Matches asking for staff help, we had 56 staff people, and a large portion of them were from out of state.
It is time for the many to decide at what level they are going to be involved, because without new folks willing to step up the current level of matches are going to drop way off.
As of right now there are no plans in place for a match next year, but as soon as someone gets it figured out let me know and I will sign up and shoot it.
Yes the shirts are in, they are at Dan Boone's house right now, I need to drive down and get them, count them all out, make sure that the order is complete and set aside the ones that were paid for. I have been back at work since 9am Monday....I will try to get to them in the next week, but finding 4+ hours of drive time to get them has been difficult this week.

Any word if it is coming back up north?
Hmmm, I know a retired guy with a pick up that lives about 90 minutes west of Silver Creek & has the directions down & is planning to be at Riley Sunday. Dan always gives me that 'either I don't like you or else I'm really constipated' look though, so it may need cleared on that end.
The look is a bit of column A and column B.
I thought that was even a high number..74?
I figured it was more like 30
