Yes, effect on the ground, lights focused on the basketball court area, not quite to the end of the mats. Again, just a minor issue, the overall set up and experience was great, from temperature to seating.

Yeah, lights were very bright on 2 and 3, but seemed to peter out (to me) mid-mat on 1 and 4.

Watched the Lawrence bout live on Flo during the EIWA 165 placement bouts. Lawrence totally got screwed; Cerniglia dominated the first period, but then all Lawrence - no takedown called at end of 2nd period, ref called stalemate while he was cradling Cerniglia, no stall calls on Cerniglia. Navy gett...

Overall, a much better than expected experience. Only minor complaint was the arena needs adjustable lights so the ends of the court, where mats 1 and 4 were, aren’t so dark (darkness even obvious on Flo replays).

Lehigh website and tournament notes out now. Farro and Pomrinca our guys at 133 and 141, respectively. Pretty much what most posters anticipated.

When do brackets come out (Thurs eve)? I like to keep track while the tournament is ongoing. Trying to figure out whether I'll be able to print them before hand or just check in on Flo occasionally. Any chance they will be available at Stabler?

Much appreciated; thanks, Rich. I hope to be there early, and also hope we have more than 3000 in attendance.

My first time at Stabler. Good to hear all the comments about food and temperature. For the uninitiated, how are the seats for general admission tickets? Worth bringing stadium seats?
