I moderated at the Florida tournament, and there were a fair number of
little typos in the packs.  On the other hand, Kelly sent me the packs
on Sunday night and I only looked through about 5 of them, missing at
least a couple of errors which I only noticed in the tournament, so I
wasn't very helpful.  Kelly sent out corrections of those errors
which were caught in advance.  Another thing I didn't really notice
until moderating is that some of the sentences were rather long, to
the point of being difficult to read.  Pronunciation guides on some
names might also have been helpful.

But again, these are very minor points, and all are attributable to
the undue amount of work with which the editor was burdered.  On the
whole, I'd say Kelly did a fabulous job.  As for a couple of the
criticisms which were levied, I thought the bonuses seemed fairly
consistent, at least in the matches I moderated.  I didn't see any
'zero or thirty' bonus streaks, or anything close to that.  And I have
no objection to having 5 packs by Kelly in the set -- really, I don't
think a familiarity with Kelly's writing style really confers any
advantage -- I've never noticed any particular tilt in his writing
style of subject matter which would give any team an edge.

Again, my thanks to Kelly for a putting together a solid set of
questions.  The Florida tournament had a few very experienced teams
(in terms of qb) and a lot of very inexperienced teams, and both
groups seemed to enjoy the tournament.
