Sunday is Mother's Day. Sorry, probably skipping at least that day.

I can't make it anymore, I'm sorry, I just don't have the resources to make the trip. Plus I can't really take off work this weekend. Also sunday is mothers day as Dave has said before me.

Sorry guys

I can't make it either. I have so many papers to work on, and I'm going to reserve this weekend to tackle them all head on. I didn't stitch a prize bag just because of this reason. Plus, I don't feel confident in my ankle to help me through this weekend, so it's a total bummer.

I also have plans for Mother's Day. I'm completely booked.

I should've had golf: it would've had a better showing than freestyle.

Don't sweat it too much guys. The show will go on.

Big money to anyone who posts footage of Jon getting sunburnt! I'm bummed I didn't make it this year, but maybe funtastics? Anyway, I'm just glad for the Outsider that he got to play and not get overwhelmed with putting on the whole show, so Chris, good on you for that. Results?

Chris Balch has been very busy since last week, and there have been some technical difficulties getting in the way of scoring the Shred Contest, so we're still not sure who won that. Also, I don't have much info on the Net outcomes, but here is what I do know:

Freestyle Routines Finals results:

6th place - Ted Fritch
5th place - Drew Martin
4th place - Chris Balch
3rd place - Dan Greer
2nd place - Jonathan Schneider
1st place - Benny Kellman

Big Three results:

4th - Dan Greer - Sumo > Crispy Illusion > Clipper Stall
3rd - Chris Balch - Ducking Clipper > Gyro Mirage > Dimwalk
Merkon > Double Around The World > Butterfly
2nd - Benny Kellman - Diving Clipper > Spinning Clipper > Spinning Paradox Dragonfly
1st - Jonathan Schneider - Torque > Infinity Swirl > Spinning Osis

For his first place finish in the Freestyle Performance, Benny won Nathan Pipenburg's bag.

For my first place finish in the Big 3, I took home Matt Cross's bag.

More Tournament Wrap-Up will be coming very soon from Chris.

==Summary==
For the most part, the schedule was stuck to. On Friday night, Ted Fritsch, Jim Hankins, and myself went to the venue to put down lines for net. It ended up taking more paint than we thought it would, so I went to buy more. We were able to establish 5 net courts, which ended up being more than enough. On saturday I arrived on site, and set up the freestyle area on the basketball courts, as others such as Jonny Leys, Ted, and Jim set up nets. I returned home to grab a broom and some other miscellaneous need, along with Drew Martin. We stopped at the quicky mart to get coffee, and then returned to the site. Upon reaching the site, I realize I didn't have my wallet(which had funds for the spike and shred in it), so I went to go look for it, while Jon Schneider managed registration. I didn't find my wallet, so I went back to the venue to kick my blues away. We had the players meeting, and net commenced. There was casual shredding at the basketball courts until the freestyle events, which went smoothly. a little while after then, I got a call from my parents saying that my wallet had been returned to the police. Net went on until dark, and we packed up and headed out.
Sunday's order of events was similar, except that freestyle ended sooner. At the end, everyone was in a hurry to leave, so the trophy ceremony was slightly wack.
