Andy was thinking that having more tournaments (say quarterly) would give the league more exposure and as a result (perhaps) more players.
Time to find out how the players feel about paying per match and using to money for 14.1 League tournaments.
— One from Ray (2024aug19) —
I'm thinking that having Handicapped 14.1 Tournaments 3 times a year
would work better than quarterly since the league is down (roughly 2
months) from mid-November through mid-January for the end of the year
holidays.
Tournament place money would come from entry fees and donations. If Pay per Match money is available that would also go towards the place money.
For anything more than 8 players per division we'd need more than one weekend (and that's with a single elim). I'd recommend saving the semi-final and final matches for a weekend but playing the earlier tournament rounds during previous weekdays or weekends. The matches could get rather long when safety battles show up.
Just the proposal above so far. No feedback yet.
