Thanks! It’s supposed to be a finals bid Quinn, but last year it was a semi’s and when they changed it to a final’s there was some confusion and the tournament director didn’t know and so it was advertised as semi’s bid tournament. Does anyone have the octo’s and quarter’s schems?

I almost forgot, partial coaching credit should go to Earl, who helped a ton.

I’m getting the rest of that round up right now. for some reason, google keeps rejecting the videos, but I’m going to keep working on it until they’re all up. I’ll post the link up here and probably on the ldboards when they’re officially up. sorry about the wait.
major congrats to Rebar and Ben, though.

congrats ben and rebar (and wes)
the fact that this tournament was publicly announced a finals bid at the beginning of the season (and in the email JW Patterson sends to all the coaches) but was still advertised as a semis bid three months later is pretty hilarious though.
