Anyone out there reading this and thinking about starting your own ice hockey tournament my suggestion to you is don't LOL ! If you can't handle stress and last second changes then don't bother ...
Trying to relax today with 4 more days until my Ghetto Classic Tournament but i can't ... i have to collect money from a couple more teams and that is the biggest stress . Really this money should already have been collected and distributed by now . Still have to get money to arena which i have paid about half of total , paid for medallions , have to go buy beer and have to pay refs and timekeeper .... the refs and timekeepers get paid at the tourney but everything else should be paid in advance .
Dealing with all this is not really easy . On top of all this i have to get on people to make trophies for MVP & MVG ( which i wish i didn't have to do yearly ) get our tournament booklet made , organize evening outings with drink and food specials . Have to get a bbq over to the rink ( free burgers on Saturday) and on top of all of this i have to start praying that it won't rain HAHAHA .
I know a couple other tourney organizers that have had a few meltdowns :)
Regardless i am looking forward to this tournament , it is the craziest party weekend of the year ... hope to see some teams from overseas next year . As soon as this is over i will start prepping for next year so dates should be released in next week with a new invite going out :P
