Season 2 State Finals - my wrap.

[Tim Harry]

Well, another season is officially put to bed. Congratulations to Des Herbert on a well fought win & to Scott, Nathan, Tony, Voula, Adrian, Gareth & Ryan who also made the final table. Truly a supreme effort amongst such a large & talented field.

But the real reason for this post is to offer my praise & congratulations to a few of the NPL staff involved.

Firstly to Garth. Kudos mate! Yet another SF run to standards that I'm sure can only be dreamt of by the opposition & even the other NPL states. I don't think a lot of people understand the logistical nightmare that goes into planning these events & this man comes through with flying colours each & every time. Always on top of the game & directing the team with precision at all times. Yet again, awesome work & you will be missed by all!

Secondly to the "blue shirts" of the day. Suzie K, Moose & Andre. Not only did they have to assist in all the pre-tournament organisation & preparation but they had to make sure everything ran smoothly for tourny staff & players on the day. The fact that there were almost no issues or problems on Sunday is a testament to the job that these three did. They didn't stop all day, moving tables & chairs, organising 100's of chip stacks, sorting decks, bagging & tagging & every other job you did & didn't see, big & small. The tourny staff & players didn't have to worry about any of the logistics of the day because these guys had it under control from start to finish. Well done, I applaud your effort & thanks for making it such a great day.

And to all of the staff invloved, Garth, Suzie, Moose, Andre, Dakota, Nathan, Joey, Nick, Sean, Vincent, Alex, Ida, Brock, Annabelle & Grant (sorry if I forgot someone!), thanks for making it such an enjoyable day. I love the finals. Seeing all my players that have fought through the season to make it, catching up with players that I haven't seen for a while & having a laugh with friends.

So do me a favour, next time you see these guys running your event or sitting next to you trying to bluff you out of your stack, I hope you take a minute to thank them for all the hard work they put in all the time. We all do this job because we love what we do & we wouldn't have it any other way.

Cheers guys,

Tim.

Tim, totally agree 100%!!

I'm going to just focus on Andre, Suzie and Moose for a little bit. I was a spectator on Sunday and those 3 people just did not stop. If it wasn't for them, then the finals wouldnt have ran as good as it did. So a big thanks to them!

As expected another very nice post from you Tim. I said it before and I'll say it again, you are a true gentleman and take pride in what you do. How you were overlooked astounds me.

ROFL!


Back on topic, you guys always do a first class job. The final ran ever so smoothly and I think you should reach around and pat yourselves on the back.

Now if you'd all stop teasing me for the first three minutes of every state final that'd be lovely

Hasn't it been hard to tease you after the first 3 minutes at some state finals tho?

True

Secretly I think it's hilarious... but I'm never admitting that!


Oh... wait....
