Interview with ISC Executive Director Ken Hackmeister
Monday, September 19th, 2005Click here for an insightful interview with ISC Executive Director Ken Hackmeister conducted by Milt Michael, publisher of the excellent BC-based site The Inside Curve.
Here is what he had to say about the ISC II:
“ISC II has far surpassed our wildest expectations. I attribute this to the dedicated and talented group of people making up our ISC II staff. And they have done it knowing they had to provide a better product to compete with NAFA, ASA and Canadian eastern and western intermediate championships. I believe we offer our ISC II teams and players the same high level of services provided to the ISC World Tournament teams and players. Excellent umpires, organized scheduling and administration, web site exposure, comprehensive stats, streaming of games, extensive quality photography, etc I know of no other organization that offers all these quality services to this level of competition.”
