I had a blast this weekend, Texas Twist needs some love for sure though
First Texas Teams and will definitely be my last as well... I will also be strongly urging anyone I know that's considering going to save the money.
I am pretty damn pissed. $511 for my team, this is NOT including the cost of 3 hotel rooms. And all we each came back with is a sweatshirt, Innova mini, a supercolor Astra, and TONS of frustration.
The way the tourney was ran was just downright atrocious. 7a players meeting on Saturday and we don't get started until almost 9a! Once we were released from the 1+ hour long player's meeting everyone got the privilege of wandering aimlessly out in muddy fields trying to find their hole assignments. Lemme tell ya, that was a blast!
From what I understand, wasn't the top 2 teams from each pool supposed to be entered in to a Sweet 16 bracket and the losing teams were to play really early Sunday morning for a final spot in that bracket? But, then I saw some jumbled crap late Saturday night on Facebook about some doubles format and to show up at 7a? Then that somehow got changed to my team (which finished 2nd in our pool) playing match play against an 0-3 team early in the morning. After we won our match, we then get taken to hole 1 along with 10 other teams to play group alternating shot for ONE spot in the elite 8. And just like that, our Texas Teams ended along with 8-9 other teams on the FIRST hole.
Great times!
This, along with my other previous rant brings up more horrible issues with this tourney. I also heard verbatim "if you win your first match you don't play early on sunday". which brings me to my point that merged and established teams REALLY should have been separated entirely. 2 different players meetings and all. I heard so much crap in that players meeting that had nothing to do with what I was playing and Vice Versa. The top 2 teams of each pool should have moved on and thats it. no play off for spots, no alternating. no 3 on 3 best shot. no nothing.
To be honest that IS what I went for, but the "experience" was terrible. I would have rather cleaned pond scum out of a dirty hookers butthole than play in that "tournament". Other than the "tournament" I had a great time.
.... cue 5 paragraphs via TTC FB about how great the sweatshirts wereThe sweatshirts are even a joke, nothing on the front and some lame logo on the back
