It smelled funny.
I was awed by the skill levels that I encountered while there.
Watching Dr.PP helps me see what sort of work I need to put into my general gameplay -- I have a lot of smoothing out to do and just crap to learn.
My buddy was definitely impressed, too. He's sure to be eager to attend another with me in the future, even if he was horribly matched with some far-advanced players for his skill level. It was bound to happen to some people, sure, but he got struck out on his first matches due to the seeding, where I feel I should have been placed in an ever-so-slightly more challenging position in the brackets than I was, seeing how I went to my fifth round before being eliminated by an overwhelmingly better player.
I see how the skill level issue isn't easy to manage, though, but it's something to consider for maintaining tournament...uh, "integrity" ? if that's an appropriate word. Rocks should play against rocks before they get run into papers.
Overall, the event was fun, though.
