Tournament Directors CoCo and Cindy Brown would like to thank
the many people who helped to ensure the continued success of
this annual event. Special recognition should be given to Mr.
and Mrs. Skip Sliwa (owners of Skip’s Lounge) and the
rest of the staff for their generous hospitality, including
a great food spread. Special thanks are also extended to Bracketeer
Rob Kern, Carolyn Perry, Alonzo Cottrell, Co-Directors Tom and
Jackie Meagher, and auctioneer’s Steve Auten, Jerry Siebert,
and Bill Kane.
As a Beta Tester for the new Computer
Peas program currently under construction, I would also
like to personally thank Eddie Brayman and the rest of the Beta
Testers for the wonderful job being done on this new age software.
This was the first non-simulated tournament I have used Peas
for and the capabilities and efficiencies of this program most
certainly bring shuffleboard tournament technology to a new
level!
