BNR, what was brutal about it, in your opinion? Too many games? Extremely tough competition? Harsh critics? You're not the first person I've heard this from, and your thoughts may help me down the road.

They use at least 5 venues for their game, and 3 of them are very hot and humid. They use a pod system and you just continually move from court to court to work games. You check in Father's Day evening and work games Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday. The post game meetings Monday and Tuesday night keep campers up until 1:00 in the morning, and you have to be ready to work by 8 in the morning. By Wednesday, the observers appear to be just as tired as the campers. All the games are not that good. It is not top flight competition.

I went in 2009 & 2010. I have heard that attendance for this camp has dwindled over the years.

I've heard the lack of A/C complaint from more than one person. That's just not reasonable/comfortable during June/July in SC. Our summers are brutal.

Good to know your thoughts.
