In Response To: Bad Beat (aka... where'd my 35 points go?) (Michael Petch)

Michael - I'm with you, the ABT would be better as a governing body. For now, it should be thought of as an alliance of independently governed entities. Those entities operate under a treaty of sorts that ensures a certain degree of consistency and collaboration, but that's it.

Governing bodies do not happen as a result of wishes and observation and agreement by the masses that it would be better. They happen when a person or people that are strong and determined invest substantial time and energy and sell it and make it happen. We don't have that. And I cannot begrudge anyone for not stepping up and doing that. Because I don't have that time, energy and determination myself.

I do applaud Bill Davis for having had the vision and doing what he has done to form the ABT and what he continues to do each and every year. We must accept its limitations unless one or more of us is willing to do what it takes to take it to the next level.
