MOL notes

[msmemory_archive]

That went surprisingly well. I'm grateful as heck to rufinia, lisagw, and napoleons_mommy for just plain dealing with stuff when I started to feel drowned. For my first time, it was like being thrown in the deep end. Luckily, Jack and Ankara, stepping in for the absent outgoing champs, already knew what sort of tournies they wanted.

Next time, bring: one or two large sheets of paper, folded, for laying out bigger charts. A ruler or straightedge. A clipboard, or two. A magic marker. More (!) copies of qual forms (though I was canonized on the spot for having brought any at all). Prepare a couple sizes of round-robin matrices just in case and bring spare tally sheets. A table cloth. My own EZ-Up?

And the lists have an interesting quality to them: if you screw up, the fighters can be relied on in a pinch to bail you out. As long as enough of the fighters have been in the trenches long enough, they can sort of figure out how to doctor up most screw-ups so everyone will be reasonably happy.

I find having a spare EZ-Up is always a good idea at events, because there is always a need for more shade or more dry(er) space.

Whenm they told me you were MOL I had no worries.

My faith is justified.

It was fun! I had no idea before how one makes a round robin tourney work.

There is nothing you can't do.

Especially with the friends you have. :-)

You were GREAT! Really. Fencers are usually responsible for our own selves and we were delighted that you would keep score for us. And with a smile and with that quiet confidence that you always have. You rocked.
