This tower house was built in 1412 as part of a water castle. It has 6 floors, the entry was on the 2nd floor.
Elizabethtown College is one of the easiest venues that I shoot (It doesn't have the funky lighting and blue floor of Norlanco's to mess up my colour balance, or the real dark dungeon-like atmosphere of Yorktowne, or the weird meter-throwing walls of Renegades). The only problem to shoot a E-town tournament, is the bright light coming in from the two doors. If you are shooting a subject backlit by the entranceways, it's best to shoot on Manual, because it will throw your meter off (even if you spot meter, the subject serving is bound to move, and if she deviates from the centre of the spot, you're done!)
This is PVA's 18s team, but the 17s were there as well (they both placed VERY highly-2nd and 3rd!)
