BTW, you guys might wanna get a real PA system as the reverb from the cordless phone made it almost impossible to discern the announcements. Also you might wanna remind spectators not to use flash during the tourney as it's really distracting for the players. Other than those issues, playing in the tourney is a wonderful experience!

Congrats on your own good run in the Open MD to reach the semis.

The PA system... ya, it has to be addressed. But we live and learn. Flash photography... well, you know you have to get used to it when everyone wants to take your pics
