Just a note on the blue crew: I am very impressed with the quality of the umpiring this weekend, of course I am seeing the A Team, the guys I see at most big ISC tournaments, with the addition of a few younger guys that I have been hearing good things about. They are doing an exceptional job. In fact, everything I have seen about this tournament so far as been Class A.
