Carolyn,
You do an exceptional job of getting the facts and details down. There are a lot of moving parts to all you do and I appreciate that you first of all, do it, and secondly, that you do it so well. From my side of playing here with the team for the first time, I see how difficult it is to get timely responses from the teams and updated scores. But you persist without making enemies! Good for you. I hope you are compensated in some fashion for providing this valuable service to the players.
Gwenda Ward
