It was great to see all the adult competitors at the spring in-house tournament. Actually, I didn't get to see all their events live. As the tournament began, I was drafted to be the scorekeeper for ring 4 - did you know the scorekeepers for rings 3 & 4 don't get assistants?!? Fortunately, Brian taped all the events I missed.I did get to see James end his under-belt tournament career by winning the adult grands, after winning the advanced men's kata earlier in the day.
The tournament ended with the most exciting tag team fight, with Heather and Callum squaring off against Nancy and Matt. I thought the orange belt ladies would be tagging out as soon as Matt and Callum tagged in, but they they stayed in a few times and scored some points! Nancy, who missed the kata and fighting events (watching her Little Dragon kids compete), was especially aggressive, scoring a couple of reverse punches on a blitzing Callum! It was a close fight, with Nancy and Matt winning 24-21.
Earlier in the day, Matt was on fire, winning the advanced men's fighting with exciting matches against Callum, James, and Marc. Tony cleaned up in his divisions, winning in kata (his kids Anthony and Melissa also won their kata events) and fighting.
Marc was looking to avenge his loss to Tony at the Aversa Brothers tournament, but he had to fight in the advanced division and did well, loosing to Matt in the final.
Kristy competed in her first tournament and performed very well, winning in novice kata, and advanced fighting.
In the junior black belt division, Jordan dominated winning in kata, fighting, and weapons - later she led her team to a win in the team fight.
