Doubles events - pro / am

The idea that Bill M & I were tossing around for a Pro/Am event is:

1. Team must be comprised of one Open player, and one Advanced or Novice player.
2. Entry fees are staggered - something like $50 for the open player and $75 for the Advanced player. (or some other reasonable amount)
3. The Advanced player assumes the Captaincy - they will sit and roll and play for every game, and have final decision on all plays and cube decisions. It is the role of the Open player to advise, and make the case for their recommended play.
4. Random pairings - if you want to play in the event, then you sign up, once the appropriate number of entries are in, then the teams are drawn.
5. Must be clocked - but reasonably so - usual doubles time should work - 3m/18s

Obviously, the goal here is for Open players to give advice and reasoning to their Advanced counterparts. Its a learning experience for the Advanced players, and a way to mingle the two groups.

This was just our idea for this type of event - if anyone has any thoughts, I'd love to hear them.
