I co-TD a few B and C-tiers and an A-Tier every year. We always send out e-surveys after each event to get feedback from the players. The responses are generally overwhelmingly positive. It is, however, easier to remember the bad comments than the good ones. I don't take things personally, so it's no big deal and it's good for us to know what people didn't like, so we know where we need to improve.
A couple years ago, one of the survey's came back with one of the participants upset that the player pack was too big. "I won't use all this stuff, it's a total waste of my entry fee" or something to that affect. Meanwhile, 90% of the other survey results mentioned how much they loved such a big player pack. We got a laugh out of that one.
TDing events can at times be very thankless and frustrating, but overall I feel I am treated very well and thanked appropriately by the participants at my events. I believe my Co-TD feels the same way. You have to accept that there are people that are not happy unless they're mad, and that most people are more quiet when they are satisfied, so it's easier to notice the upset people even though they are by far the minority.
All-in-all I love it. Otherwise I wouldn't do it.
