In Response To: Keeping things in perspective (Chuck Bower)

Has anyone considered the effect this officious criticism is likely to have on tournament directors, especially potential directors? Why would anyone want to bother? I'm sure that a few established directors make decent money on tournaments, but that is not the rule. I'm sorry, but the idea of putting a director on probation seems like something that might be suggested on the Colbert report.
