Personally without these events having a benefiting organization I would not put forth any effort to plan them because in the past we have been burned out on unappreciative folks and egos. At least the charities will appreciate our efforts if nobody else does is my feeling. Now I do hope I am wrong and you guys enjoy and embrace these events because there is a ton of work put into them and if we get a positive response I would love to have a Tournament Trail again next year.
