I'm really thrilled with how the last round came out.
Wasnt very happy about how the rest of the tournament was going, but it was fixed.
Absolutely killer top 8.

[Norah]

[stip]

Whoops

Leaving this open one more day due to board craziness

[E.H. Ruddock]

So it turns out there is some issue with some code on the board and this tournament is causing all of the crashes. Going to have to ask you guys to wrap this up by COB Friday. kthnx.

Do we have a psychologist on hand to provide Stip with post-tournament trauma counselling?

[UglyRedHonda]

Thanks, Stip!

Unfortunate that I was travelling a lot during the tourney, so I missed a lot of it, but overall, it was really great taking a spin through the catalog again, including some cuts I hadn't really listened to before. (At the very least, it led me to realize that "Leave" somehow wasn't in my main playlist and hadn't been played in five years, which is a pretty glaring oversight for me.)

The number of times that my iPod randomly played a song that was in a current round was pretty fantastic.

Thank you so much for running this, Stip. This was a ton of fun. How underwhelmed are you by the outcome? Did you think it would be Country Feedback all along?

At least the final was pretty close. That's exciting.

[ABNorman]

Just kidding. I love Stip's tournaments.

NEVER

Some people are born to be teachers. Some people are born to be social workers. Some people are born to run RM tournaments.
