This was my 9th year (so sorry I missed the first year too) at the match, and as usual, I really enjoyed myself.
I am very happy with the new schedule format. My only semi-negative comment is on the new prize structure. Frank caters to foreigners, this match has to be one of the highest density of foreigners in the USA. That's a really nice thing for him to do, be a good host in one of the greatest shooting regions in IPSC. The problem is, all these foreigners can't take the prizes they won, so giving out a lot of guns isn't a better thing. The side effect, as noted from CWPSA is less vendors due to the more expensive cost of admission and less people for us to shop at.
I know Frank struggles with prizes and tries really hard to be fair, but I don't think this was the right route for this particular match.
I'd prefer he go to all cash, myself - like the FIPT used to do.
