Special thanks to steve for the shred-room!

Thanks to everyone who came out to the event! I'd like to single out Ianek, Emily, and Reile for going out of their way to help out with running the events, getting players organized, and giving so many people space to crash. Thanks to all the judges and sponsors as well!

Scott, unfortunately you didn't include the request contest results. There were two different request contests. Can someone please update this thread with the request contest results? I only remember a few and don't want to screw it up. I'll go ahead and approve Scott's e-mail announcement without them because it's already been waiting long enough, and I'll just mention in that one that people can get the final results at footbag.org -- so please, Scott, once you see the results here (Ianek?) please post them at http://www.footbag.org/events/show/1255269216

Thanks.

Steve
