That is such a bummer. People are stupid to think that a prank like that is funny. I am glad everyone is safe and nothing happened. As a parent that is my worst nightmare. I hope it never happens for real.

You did well in your first tournament. Some tournaments I don’t even place. Every tournament is different. There is always something new to learn at each one. There are more to come this year.
