I was really impressed with how smoothly the tournament ran. The real-time website updates were fantastic. The personalized scoresheets for each match made things virtually idiot-proof. The machines were numerous, varied, and in great condition. I got to play against some top-quality opponents and felt like I left PAPA a better player as a result. It was a very positive first Pinburgh experience for me.

It was great to meet you Bowen. Kudos to you and all the staff.

A suggestion for next year.. show the finals tournament progress on a monitor in the TV area — something showing the 4 players in the round and who is currently playing (A view of the score displays above the overhead view TVs would be icing on the cake — the screen showing the Twitch broadcast was nice, but didn't show the player name. It was also off to the side and slightly delayed with the live action). I wasn't listening to the Twitch stream and I don't know the player's names/faces. Many of the attendees do, obviously, but a display would make the whole thing more accessible to newcomers like me.

Oh.. one additional suggestion. Industrial-strength lavatory ventilation. I'd be willing to pay extra next year to make this happen. =)
