taylorbabe: I don't think waiting until Monday to post the scores is the right thing to do. RBC is by far the highest ranked tournament in South Carolina and should try to emulate the same-day, and at times same-hour, scoring that many of the better out of state tournaments have. The comparison can't be other South Carolina tournaments -- if you look at the ranking services I think Aiken is the second overall ranked tournament and is way behind RBC.
Now, with this criticism noted, I think that the people who pulled off the RBC Liberty tournament did a wonderful job. I was truly impressed with the tournament program and the job the volunteers did, there were enough medals and they actually looked good, the most important thing [the medical/health care stuff] was the best I've ever seen, the competition seemed alright, the scheduling was solid, I didn't see a referee issue (although I'm sure as in any game or set of games others did.)
Off the top of my head, I heard the following criticisms of RBC that I thought were valid:
- Results weren't posted in a timely and at times accurate fashion.
- Schedules were late causing some hotel reservation issues.
- Not enough "small" T-shirts.
That's about it -- all things that I have no doubt will be fixed next year.
Again...congratulations to the many, many people who worked to pull RBC off...I thought that they did a wonderful job.
