Vito.

Of course not!  No one is begrudging open/men's tournaments in general. It 
just seems that this one is more of a FUN tournament than a lead up to 
nationals or worlds or an opportunity for whole teams to train together 
before something big and there doesn't really seem to be a reason why it 
couldn't be co-ed to expand the game a bit and let everyone join in the fun. 
  Becca was just enquiring ( i think)and asking future tourney organisers to 
perhaps bear it in mind that there are women out there who play well and 
would like to play more often.

relax.

Becca, I'm out, they're all yours!  ;-)
