Woah woah, I don't think anyone is saying they didn't have an enjoyable time. I don't want people reading this thinking that it was a huge clusterfuck and everyone was unhappy (at the same time acknowledging the problems).
Take the good points everyone has about this and then discard the bad points. This is the first time there was an event this big for NCI, so its just a learning experience. It can only get better.
SpiritJuice brings up some good points about certain things, but it also presents some problems. To get this organized we need to have a wider variety of setups, at least a setup or two for casuals. Not everyone wants to stand around waiting for the tournament to be finished so that they can play. To solve this problem we need to have people more active in bringing setups, which means that people need to bring what they have and someone must actively seek out and push people to do so.
