The primary aim was to have tourneys where the best teams would get to play each other. Supposing that 6 of the top 8 teams would play in Southern event, where's the value for Chevron? Now I'm 100% behind Regional events - but this is just repeating the situation that arose when Nationals included a regional qualifier. Why would an AGM make a decision like this? Why would an AGM even be discussing things like this? Surely this sort of thing is better decided by a small group of people (perhaps selected by DoC or the AGM)? Going well this week: one moan per day so far... I wonder if I can keep it going all week. Si - moaning bastard (no, thats not a new team name)
