A cautionary tale…

A high school student in Michigan spent 9 months organizing a Halo tournament to be held on school grounds. He did everything right; he talked to school officials, he organized parents and teachers to act as chaperones, he advertised both in school and out. All was copacetic – until 4 days before the event, His dad contacted the local police to inquire about the availability of a uniformed officer to provide security (they were expecting in excess of 300 people); with just a couple of days to go, and $650 out of pocket for the teenaged organizer, the tournament was shut down. Ouch! Read the details in the Ann Arbor News.(Louis Wu 11:34:38 UTC)
