Great job! I am sure ur guys not only organized a high quality tournament, but also established a positive image around the local community. Wish that one day I can participate this event...
It's taking a bit more time this year. I used to webmaster the site but now have passed it on. It seems that Shutterfly isn't quite friendly with keeping photo album links alive, so we have to find an alternative resource to post and I haven't had the chance to speak with the new webmaster on finding a decent site for our images. I'll post a notice here once we get it up. We haven't forgotten...in fact, it's one of the top priorities we constantly keep in mind!
