A MASSIVE Thank you to the people behind the scenes that made this amazing event possible. What was achieved this weekend would not have been possible without the support of these individuals that assist in taking the main arena at Nasrec and convert it into a tournament ready 5-man setup. From Wednesday to Friday the main arena was converted and then again broken down and leaving the venue clean for the next exhibitors to move in within 3 hours after the end of the tournament. I take my hat off to each and every one that assisted us in making this unforgettable event possible at the Outdoor Lifestyle Show. A special thank you to Cecil Rhind and his setup/breakdown crew for setting up and breaking down the field. Cecil is someone that is actively involved in the whole process of the setup and breakdown and worked tediously making sure everything was done correctly to keep it as safe as possible for player and spectators alike, even though he was sick. I take my hat off to you for your passion and assistance. Thank you to Vanessa Schmidt for assisting with the administration and communication and dealing with various aspects behind the scenes as well as taking care of the referees with regards to food and drink. Gerard and Michelle Basson and their team for jumping on board and assisting with registration and security and just assisting where needed to help make this event great and to assist that the overall tournament ran smoothly. Martin van Staden for always being on duty as our paramedic at events and helping out where needed. A special thank you to Elaine and Hardie Botha that jumped in with the breakdown and clean up on Saturday and Sunday who was not afraid to get their hands dirty with raking and what ever else was needed to assist us in getting the work done. Last but not least Richard Mead, Heinrich Erasmus and Keanu Schmidt for assisting with the general field setup and breakdown and helping out where needed. Thank you to each and every player that assisted with the extra financial contribution to help us cover all the additional expenses we had in setting up for this event. We are still far from breaking even, but we hope that the exposure we received from this tournament will help us grow even bigger giving this sport even more exposure!
