A properly motivated judge can run a tournament by themselves, but great intentions can often lead to abandoned tournaments.

Not that I could think of any tournaments that have been finished for a very long time (even through the finals!), without being judged, but that would really stink.
Thanks Storm, that's appreciated. We did well to ensure we covered everything and I want to thank the judges for their help too and, of course, the participants.
