Tournament Directing for Baystate APA was a blast!

Baystate APA AMI Tournament, June 3, 2018

A great time was had by all…but the best time was had by the Dream Team, who won the day and a spot in the State tournament for Vegas on June 9-10, 2018. If they win there, they will be heading to Vegas in August. Congratulations, Dream Team, and the best of luck this weekend!

I've been playing in Baystate APA pool leagues for a few years now and had run a few tournaments at my favorite pub and pool hall, Stix and Stones in Abington, MA, as well as for the McDermott Ride the 9 pool tour. But this Sunday at the Fan Club in Wareham was the first time I've been the tournament director ("TD") for Steve Blaney's Baystate APA league. It was a blast! Great venue, great tables, great people!

As this was my virgin TD voyage for Baystate APA, Derrick Morgado, who helps Steve run many of Baystate APA's tournaments, made the trip down to the Fan Club to help me get situated with a quick Vulcan Mind-meld. Derrick, you definitely greased the wheels for a smooth running tournament. Thank you so very much!

All the teams were excited to be attending this event. All players showed great sportsmanship throughout the day. And everyone shot valiantly. And they were all so nice! The best team name, by far, was "Win or Booze." If you play pool, you know how apropos this moniker is. But the captain of the team was very disappointed that I could remember the team name, but not his face.

The tournament started at 11am and concluded around 11pm, with Dream Team (pictured) coming out on top. Bud Lights Out (great team name runner-up) took the longest road to the finals by trampling through the one-loss bracket and then wining the first match of the Finals, forcing the "double-dip" match.

Congratulations to all the teams that made it to the Qualifier and AMI Tournaments this weekend. While many did not win, they got there and gave it their all. They should be as proud as I am envious.

Here is the AMI tournament bracket of results. (Challonge is great for setting up and reporting bracket results. If Challonge had a Table Assignment feature, it would be perfect.)

Do you have a favorite team name? If you do, can you put it in the comments below? I would love to hear them! Thanks!

Why your website needs to be ADA compliant

By Cameo Moy • April 5, 2022
I recently invested in an ADA-compliance tool thinking that it would help my website become WCAG-compliant, because I thought WCAG compliance was the law (when in fact it was the opposite). This common misunderstanding is perpetuated by a media that consistently conflates the two compliance standards. This blog is to demystify what these website standards are and to provide you with some suggestions on what to do about website accessibility compliance. DISCLAIMER: Before you read further, please note that this blog post is my understanding of the two website accessibility compliance standards. This is my opinion and common-sense (well, some might call it genius ) interpretation. But however genius this post may be, it is not meant to be legal advice of any kind. Please consult a lawyer if you need legal advice. That said, you should read what I have to say, because no one has said it in such an understandable way before…

Trends You Should Understand When Marketing to Young Consumers

By Cameo Moy • July 16, 2021
Marketing is always complicated no matter what audience you’re trying to reach. However, young consumers can be especially difficult to market to because there’s less information available about their spending habits and marketing preferences. Young consumers are also an incredibly important market because they are likely to remain loyal customers from this point forward.
