A huge thank you to Pete Brown, owner of Racks, along with tournament director Farrah, for making the Palmer Byrd Cup possible and for gifting me one of the pink scarves. 🩷
Thank you as well to both captains for bringing this incredible event to Gallery. We’re honored to host so much talent under one roof and proud to see so many local players so well represented. Don't let the score fool you--the races were tight, and Empire Elites fought hard every step of the way.
Best of luck to Royal Precision as they advance and continue representing NY... we’ll all be cheering you on!👏
A very special thank you as well to our outstanding stream team and event crew who helped make the weekend possible:
Ian Zavardino for his big tech brain and for introducing his broadcast voice. (He doesn't bring that out for just anyone)
Aaron Butler & Laurie Fisher for most of the commentary
Mark Watt for his referee duties
Mark Puleo for setting us up and pulling a double.
Ashima Butler for keeping matches running smoothly with timekeeping
🙏We appreciate everyone who helped create such a competitive, exciting, and professional event. Thank you all for being part of it!
