        • Did you check the Web page for updates? Yes
        • Do you think you were sufficiently kept informed about the tournament? Yes
      5. Other comments on the tournament:
        Scheduling of games less than optimum. For example, our first game was Friday night. If we had lost, we then would have played Sunday morning, yielding two nights hotel for two games. Totally disagree with suggestion to limit teams in tourney. We were an A team playing AA, but were competitive. In our second game, as the 8th seed, we lost 2-1 to the regular season champs and tournament runner-ups. The winning goal came with 3.4 seconds left in the game. Thus, an 8th seed came within a few seconds of going to a shoot-out with one of the top teams. We had also previously beaten the team they then played in the semi's.
    8. BTHL Home Page:
      1. Have you visited it? Yes
      2. If yes, how would you rate it? Excellent
      3. What have you liked about it?
        Good source of info, lists latest standings, great links to other leagues and organizations
      4. What could be improved?
        League board meeting minutes posted late or never. Teams should post results of all games, not just league games, and should be required to post their league games promtply. One team in our league had numerous results not posted, presumably because they did not turn scores/scoresheets in.
