<br>
Complaints on Saturday about the movement resulting in a 3 board sitout
which the directors could have avoided by just combining into one larger
section.<br>
Complaints on Saturday about Matt's behavior. He was apparently at one
point griping about how he hates Seattle sectionals.<br>
Many (6ish?) comments about how badly balanced the field was on
Saturday, primarily Saturday morning.<br>
Also a complaint about how Matt failed to poll a hand for a director
call. His answer was that everyone played the hands already since we
played the same boards, but directors in similar positions can reach out
to people away from the site who aren't playing. Not sure how I feel
about this one since I think the director decision is pretty clear cut,
but other people who know more than me about directing felt that this
was pretty lazy behavior.<br>
Some complaints about no round clock. Various people tried to fix this
and I don't think anyone ever figured it out. Something to get figured
out for sure before the next sectional.<br>
No complaints on Sunday about Matt at all. My interactions with him on
timing, boards, etc were all great. The rounds were a bit slow, but it
seemed hard to ask Matt to enforce strict deadlines for rounds given the
lack of a working round clock. <br>
<br>
Lots of compliments about air conditioning<br>
Some nice comments about how it was a nice location<br>
<br>
Water solution seemed to work well.<br>

The locker rooms were locked on Sunday — they offer additional, closer
restroom facilities. Sunday evening during tear down I spoke with the
staff person who was doing custodian work and mentioned that we had
always had access to the locker rooms on Sunday of our prior rentals and
were sorry we didn’t this time. Asked him to provide this feedback to
mgmt. He said he works from the facility offices and would pass along
the feedback.

<div class="">It took quite some time Sunday evening for Renae and I
to gather, group, check, count and pack into cases the sets of boards
that I subsequently took to Sharon Erwin. By the time we finished this
task, the pencil boxes were packed and loaded. In additional to making
up the boards for our tournaments, Sharon has also been sharpening the
pencils. This is a reminder that when we tear down we should think in
terms of keeping the cases of boards and boxes of pencils together so
they are all taken away by Sharon or — as Sunday evening — taken away by
one of us for delivery to Sharon.</div>
<div class=""><br class=""></div>
<div class="">I head several comments that 56 board are too many on
Sunday; this concern was further aggravated on Sunday by the smaller
than usual number of folks who supported tear down.</div>
