Someone PLEASE tell me how Chicago was!

Just wondering how the tournament went. I really wanted to go, had planned on going, but last minute had a work training I couldn't afford to miss so I was wondering if someone could post about what went on there. Maybe like what teams won, what new toys you saw there, how your team did or whatever you want really. Thanks

The tournament was awesome ..great competition.. no new toys displayed that I saw except the omen I guess. The naughty dogs took the pro division. I think the nppl divisions are a bit screwy, I play novice and we held a pro team for 5 min and was sacked by a rookie team in a 1:15. That was our first nppl event but not our last. we entered Novice because thats what we always play and are competitive in but evidently people enter as low as they possibly can instead of where thet normally are. But it was cool playing the pro's

yeah rupie, people do that, but see the thing is, the divisions in this style of tournament are different, when you play "amateur" local tournaments, you aren't at an amateur nppl/psp level. In reality, if this is your first NPPL tourny, you most likely should have entered as Rookie, because the competition at national events is incredible. If people are willing to pay for air fare and hotels, they are probably confident they can win, so they are probably about 75% as good as they say they are.
