tourney folk
pat: you are a to beast, was a pleasure helping out
sheridan: also a phenomenal to. thanks for the rides as well
pocky: always a pleasure chilling with you at tournaments
zoap: brawl pools are good times lol. come to more of the itt's!
kristine, vanessa, justin, etc: thanks for helping run the pools. tournament never would have finished w/o designated pool captains
nealdt: new tio was pretty slick. definitely allowed brackets/pools to be run more efficiently
oats/zoreh/shuttle staff-- didn't really get to talk to you guys with the exception of zoreh for a bit, but a big thanks for transporting people to an fro
concession stafff-- thanks for keeping us well fed
jb: thanks for letting me commentate a bit on your setup. good **** on the candid vids. i think the smashers who couldn't attend will really appreciate them, because so much of the experience is the people, which the stream/recorded matches can't capture
ajpanton/tai/stab/other recorders-- thanks for making sure the matches can be viewed by anyone later. those who could not attend will certainly be appreciative, and even those in attendance will be happy because with so many good players it was impossible to see all of the big names playing. special shout out to ajp anton, who damn near brought a recording laboratory. quite impressive
sound guy/ fairground staff-- never got your name, but many thanks for keeping the pa system/music/projector operational. all of it was crucial for running the tournament and for maximizing hype
boback/german/theking et al-- thanks so much putting in the work to make sure that this tournament was special. this particular shoutout is way too short. i was not involved in the community for the first edition, so no shoutout can express grateful i am to you guys for deciding to run a second edition of this. kudos
