Yes, we did have the same problem and we were expecting not to have the same issue this year.

Too hard to get shirts, trophies, food, table and chairs when everyone waits until the last minute.

Not to mention all the extra shirts that are leftover each year because we have to guess at the amount needed and size.

Our main issue this year is since we set the date, every moderator and Casey's schedule has changed due to work and personal obligations that have unexpectedly occurred.

We had good intentions again this year and fell short of our goal...... We did not cancel to be ridiculed. It was a decision that was made after hours of phone conversations and hundreds of text messages.

We realize a few people have always volunteered their time to help and we appreciate it but our schedules changed over the last few weeks and we decided since we couldn't deliver the quality tournament our members were accustomed too, that our safe bet would be to back off.

This message wasn't aimed at you Cripley but just a general statement of how the decision was made and why.

Bluechip....just scale it back a notch. I think the extra stuff is what causes the headaches. For a lot of us, the best part of s.c. tourney is the camaraderie and trash talk.

I understand..... And is being discussed and will probably happen. But all the extra stuff helped raise money for a charity....and it is a headache but for a great cause.

But that big bowl of jambalaya will be missed lol.

mr crab · #**129** 06-29-2015, 08:11 PM

Just to many obligations. I get into football season after the 1st. Being the head coach for a youth tackle team is huge time consumer. Plus my other son still plays and I also acquired to restaurants over the past year. Just busy and I don't want to deliver a junk tournament to you guys. I went to one earlier this year and it was as as poorly managed as I've seen, I don't want a tournament with my name on it to not be worth you guys time and money and I want it to be successful for the charity. I'm not good at half way. Either all in or out generally.

I am working on a compromise.

AubreyLaHaye458 · #**132** 06-29-2015, 09:32 PM

Completely understood Casey. Whatever yall decide is best I support yall

Specks aren't hard to catch ..... Also Mr. Casey this is a big forum now and still can generate the funds for charity ..... Pass the torch down to someone who can go through with it instead of canceling... maybe Bob ? If he would be up to it? We don't need free burgers and such anyway but this needs to stay a traditional tournament!

I understand y'all's situation and know these things are tough just hate to see a charity lose and not get opportunity for us to get together. As for the shirts I can remedy that problem my wife owns a T shirt shop and we can prep the shirts and make them at the tournament if needed. Any help you guys need on shirts hats decals or anything of that nature let me know. We have some pretty state of the art equipment.
