With all of the negativity and vitriol that normally dominates the forums, the last week of good spirited competition and positive statements of a good tourney by all involved does my heart good.

Man I hope I can afford to go to the Bash this year, I think it will be even better than it was two years ago where I met a number of really great friends!

Thanks to SBR for holding this promotion, it was a lot of fun and great competition!

Congrats to the USA team and the winner of the MVP, Sportfan (I think)!

Nice comeback from the Confederate team, no infighting or negativity happened and you pulled off a tie with my awesome Canadian team.

Also congrats to the World team, they kept positive without a negative word stated (that I saw) and just did not get the luck when they needed it!

To all of the poker community, lets keep the positive vibes and attitudes going. Keep supporting each other and point out the positives to help improve us all!

Going into a long weekend in Canada, BURRRPPP!!!!
