Ruth,

I think your argument fails all over the shop. Last year we, Ro-Sham-Bo
played only 3 of the 4 tours, and still managed to qualify for nationals!
All this was done by students, and we never took 12 people to a
tournament.There are student teams out there who consider themselves quite 
seriousand as we proved last year we should be able to compete, because we just
might suprise a few people.

The cost may well put teams off, and so will attitudes like that.
