Well, i guess we have to sympathis with the DoC a little here - he didn't turn down any bids this year, and really tried hard to get some northern tournaments in the schedule. What can be done if only four bids are put forward? you have to accept them all, or reduce the tour. so, if you feel strongly that last weekend was no good, that's fine. however, if you feel really strongly about it, the best things isn't to criticise those who have devoted a huge amount of time organise tournaments, but to put bids in yourself.
