Thank you to the teams for great play this year.

Thank you to all the fans for making it a great atmosphere.

Thank you to the officials for helping out this great tournament.

Thank you to the staff from all over the nation who make this the best tournament that NIRSA/NCCS runs...in my opinion :). From the operations staff to the field marshals, to the all tournament committees, to the blogger :), to the tournament directors to the NIRSA reps, to the hospitality staff, to the trainers and to everyone else I forgot to mention. It is a great staff, it is a great tournament! I look forward to this tournament every year! Can't wait to return next year!

Finally, a great big THANK YOU to the Reach 11 Sports Complex!
The past 3 years have been great and the staff is so helpful and the facilities top notch for the championships that we provide. This has been a great experience and we hope to return again in the near future.
