This event was really well organized compared to many other events I've attended. I love weigh-in right before going on the mat, and I like that they have a pretty strict (and reasonably accurate) time based schedule instead of "show up at 930 and wait until your division is called".
The only gripes, relatively minor though:
- couldn't understand the loudspeaker most of the time. Saw several people almost DQed because they didn't get to the scale on time until someone overheard a "final call".
- current time not visible on the timekeeper's desk
- inattentive refs or timekeepers, many times chatting or looking away while the ref is trying to score
- there was an argument about whether a submission was a neck crank or guillotine, and instead of clearing the mat and letting more competitors on while they sorted it out, they stalled the mat for 20 minutes while waiting for the head guy to come down and sort it out
Other than that, it was surprisingly well run and a reasonable price.
Nice to see Hermes Franca walking around too, he seemed really cool.
