When I wrote the praise, I ahd forgotten about that packet. It was
pretty bad. Most of the questions in that packet were answered
extremely fast, so I didn't realize until looking that many lacked
the "FTP" and many were incredibly short.
However, I don't think that one packet justifies bashing a
tournament... It was still enjoyable and an overall good
tournament. Granted, that packet did need some serious work.
