Thanks to everyone who made the match a success. There were WAY too many people to name...but they all played an integral part in making this event happen.
Please contact the match sponsors to thank them for giving this match one of the best prize tables in the country.
BTW, in the match book, I made an error on the stage building crew. Here is the correct list. I will also be sending this list to all of the competitors.
Kelly Raglin
Doug Bowdler
Jerry Quisenberry
Rob Elston
Josh Appel
Brook Boswell
Mike Jackson
Terry Pregler
Ron Phillips
Jay Mackey
Pat Oglesbee
Robert Carlile
Mike Reed
USSA Range Crew
Also, Darrel Brooks was one of the RO's on Stage 2, and Chris Horton was on stage 5. Gary Lawrence and Don Frost were unable to work this year.
As far as the comments about Jessie and Tori, I was not with them throughout the entire match so I cannot speculate. If this happened, then shame on them and shame on the Stage Staff for not making them help. I would also question why some polite hints weren't dropped by their fellow squad mates for not helping. I know them both personally, and I can tell you they're VERY nice people, but EXTREMELY intense competitors. Please understand that I'm not making excuses for anyone, but sometimes overly acute match focus can be mistaken for lack of social connection to new or unknown squad mates.
The match success is more important, and you all made it happen! From the bottom of my heart, I thank you!
Sincerely,
Phil Strader
Match Director
