I really think that you guys should try to treat these sort of like Grand Prix, in that you post feature match reports and have lots of pictures and things. It could bring a lot more publicity to the events, and make them feel more important.

Agreed these $5k/$10k events are becoming very significant in the competitive scene

Congratulations to Team Anderson, especially Kali.

Kudos to Chase Lamm as well, who was such a gentlemen to drop at the end and acknowledge that Kali had DOMINATED the day and was a worthy winner Smile

I was involved in an unfortunate situation in a side event at the Nashville 5k which ended up having my opponent dq'ed from the draft. As such the judge involved asked me to write a voluntary statement about the incident for him to submit to the DCI. I told him I would e-mail him the statement but seem to have misplaced the paper with his e-mail on it.

I remember his name was Nicolas Sabin. This is time sensitive as he said he would have to have the report to turn in by tomorrow (Wednesday). Anyone that can pm me with his addy or e-mail it to me, I would be extremely grateful.
