Here is what participants said about the conduct of the tournament.
This tournament was absolutely phenomenal. Between all the other tournaments I have played, which is way more than 10 for sure, this one was the best, and the management was no exception. You and your staff are the most pleasant to work with, and I have never seen any tournament host work more by himself than you have. Please keep it up in the future, I heard from people all throughout the tournament how well they thought you were running the tournament and how hard you were working.
Thanks,
Kyle Mikota
Hi Swavek,
I enjoyed playing at the Aurora Cup. The tournament was well run as usual but the Joola balls are terrible. I know they sponsor the tournament but in my opinion the balls detract significantly from the experience.

Thanks Swavek. It was fun to participate in the tournament and thanks for all of your work.
I could not arrange to get the table with the weather condition, maybe next year. If they are still in Chicago and a weekend pickup is an option, just let me know.
Take care and see you at the next.

Swavek – Another great job with this tournament, and what an impressive turnaround time for the results!
I do wish that similar rating groups were not spread across three days. In my case, 1400 (Sun), 1500 (Fri) and 1600 (Sat), since transportation to the tournament is problematic for me. But I know it must be a nightmare figuring out all of the scheduling permutations.
Thanks again.

Hi Swavek,
I enjoyed the tournament a lot. My only suggestion is for the other tournament directors to not call “Swavek to the control desk, Swavek to the control desk” over the PA system every half hour. They should just call or text your cellphone.
Best,
Gideon
