length and logistics

ceremonies Other (please specify) 0.00% 10.00% 20.00% 30.00% 40.00% 50.00% 60.00% 70.00%

Recap of 2017 & Lessons Learned

Weather Issues 1) Safety

  • Our tents are inspected by an engineer,

and properly grounded

  • They are safe to use as shelter

2) Fields

  • All efforts to relocate were made
  • Venue challenges (summer weather,

damage clause in contract)

3) Communications

  • Communication issues were identified

post-event & will be improved

Recap of 2017 & Lessons Learned

Tier system

  • Survey results very positive
  • Only 7% don’t recommend it
  • We recognize that a lot of

coaches are “unsure”

  • Issues unveiled:
  • Change the amount of playing

time per players, as top players are played more

  • Bottom 17 to 24 can’t finish

higher than 9th
