Wow -- what an amazing week. The showcase was a huge success in many ways, the most immediate, in terms of seeing a difference, was the media attention. For years we have tried to gte the Daily Oklahoman to give us more coverage. Early in the week they will usually do an article or two but this year we were able to get the to attend the Showcase and after that they assigned a different reporter to the tournament for each day. This was Sunday's http://newsok.com/article/3216859/1205653085
Below are the links to the New York Times article and slide show.
They also put together a slide show that is really good.
