Overall it was a very successful trip for Brevard APA teams and players. The tournament staff did a remarkable job running this event considering the size and overall team count due to having 2 years worth of entries. It was great to see so many friends and family travel to support their teams, and also teams supporting each other when they weren't in a match. As League Operartors we want to thank eeveryone who made the trip out, hopefully everyone had as much fun as we did and we look forward to doing it all again next year.
