My understanding was that a kid broke her leg in a prior game that delayed that game over an hour as EMS was called. As for the brackets, I heard parents from MPSC, CUSC and Bridge complaining about their playing teams times and brackets as well. I have been to tournaments with my kids and have been on both ends of the bracket (playing stronger teams and weaker teams), but always felt the team benefitted from playing the tougher competition. I can not address the other issues (trash, lopsided scores, etc.) as I have no knowledge of them. All I can say is that I never seen a tournament where everything went as scheduled and everyone was happy.
