Monday Officials Assignments

On Sunday night they assigned all the officials for Monday quizzing. Only a small handful of officials were left at the end, and will be helping with the one-on-one tournament.

Today was the Sunday service and officials orientation. I've been playing with some scripting to make things interesting, like the Monday schedule above. It does all the hard work of answering the hard who-plays-who-when-and-where question.

It sounds like Robert Carter will have stats up regularly throughout the day, and I'll post them here too.
