So, as the regulars around here have probably figured out by now, I'm stepping down as PokeBeach TO. I'm doing this voluntarily; the staff and I are still on good terms (for once). While I could probably work two jobs and run the tournaments, I think it's better both for the players and my stress level that someone else takes hold of the tournaments. I think I've done a good enough job over the past fifteen months taking these tournaments and smoothing out the edges, making them run like clockwork, so I feel like my replacement shouldn't have much trouble adapting.
I still don't know who my replacement is - Sam only told me late last night that he had someone lined up. Hopefully I'll know sometime today and then I can get started on training them. Whoever it is, I hope you will all show them the same respect and enthusiasm for these tournaments that you have shown me.
Thanks for the ride, PokeBeach. It's been fun.
