Since I'm the only one 'discussing' them; and the only counter points are personal ad hominems - your use of the words "honest .... " etc. are without foundation. Point your comments in better directions, or 180 degrees round. Look there was no modem communications, right ? This was a bloody shambles as we say here. Also at issue is the expense vis a vis the $1000 entrance fee. If you'ld like me to list the accidents, I'll do so. I say accident proneness means bad organisation and that general renewal is required. But please carry on your diversionary tactics for a while longer .... Or maybe you want to carry on with sloppily organised tournaments where loads of stuff goes wrong, various things get fixed at the last minute, various things don't get fixed at all and Marie Antionette-ish let them eat cake, sorry canapes, seems to rule ...
