As I didn’t have to judge any of the events today, I felt like I was able to coach the team more which was nice (especially with three new competitors) even if it meant that I didn’t see any events. This is also the first tournament for the three chaperones who came along, so it was nice to have the time to get to know them better. Additionally, I was grateful to not have to judge as I’ve been visited by an irritating headache with a bit of an earache for the entirety of the day.
I’m hoping to get some good rest tonight and fully enjoy the tournament tomorrow. Personally, I like that they chose a Star Wars theme for it. For example, the first round of extemporaneous commentary was on famous rebellions (the next round will be on famous daddy/father issues), and our team code is WINDU.
These are my people.
