First of all, Let me say how grateful that I am to all of the MD's, RM's, CRO's, RO's and all of the other players involved in putting on ANY match. Ya'll are the backbone of this sport. Thank you for all you do. I shot in the same squad as Jimmy on Friday and yes, It had its trials and tribulations. I knew well in advance that shooting 12 stages on Friday was going to suck. I shot it, Pissed and moaned a lot, But at the end of the day, I walked off the last stage beat down but content and happy that I got to blow off a day of work and shoot. RO'ing Sat/Sun was a blast. Good crew, All of the squads were awesome, And everything flowed well, At least, Until Murphy showed up for our last squad of the match and put his curse on the stomp pad for the drop turner. As much of a downer that it must have been for squad 1 to have a SNAFU on their last stage, They acted like true sportsmen/ladies and we got everything resolved and cleared the range by noon. To all of the shooters and staff that I dealt with this weekend, Thanks for being a classy group of people. If you don't have the patience to deal with a little bit of adversity, I suggest that you stay home and pull weeds.
Mike
