Thanks to everyone who made it out. Big thanks to Brian Cimins for his support and for giving away great prizes and for getting out there and refereeing. Also, to Gumby for coming and filming and giving away great dvd's. Thanks to Sprawl as well, for giving away shorts.
It was a great event. There were many exciting matches and I think more than 80% of all the fights that day ended by submission. Congratulations to my team for their great performance. The Lovato team won every advanced division except for one, the one division we didn't have anyone in, and the Lovato team closed out the absolute with 10 team members. Here are the full results:
