This was a very well run tournament. Incredible (and also free) food, single-flighted rounds, and a good judging pool.
The one thing that I did notice that was somewhat off was that the high-seeded rounds that would end up determining who broke were judged by lay judges, despite the large number of qualified judges in the judging pool.

The quality of the Jim n Nicks pulled pork was even better than what is actually served in the restaurant (a favored dining location of sir Billy Tate). Mountain Brook provided a delicious barbecue lunch.

I don’t know who you are. I don’t have a grandmother. That’s very insensitive.
