Tools for Timed Tournament Matches - Acquired
In order to run a timed tournament (Triplettes timed at 45 minutes) you must have the right tools. For this, we've acquired a dual-event timer and a megaphone. The Dual-Event timer is very cool, allowing us to set and run the 45 minute and 30 minute time-spans at the same time (when 30 minutes runs out, we know 15 minutes are left - we sound that out via the megaphone, then at 45 minutes - end the match). The ultimate in Geekdom efficiency.

Very efficient. I would like to put my two cents in regarding time for a triplette- i hr would probably be better, and seems to be more standard. This aside, I like the way you guys used walki talkies to keep things coordinated. very high tech JT
