In Response To: We live in a free country, don't we? (Phil Simborg)

Phil - It is a free country. Tournament directors can decide on whatever format they like and individual players are free to hate it or love it and vote with their mouth and their wallets.

This sounds as close to a perfect society as I would ever hope to see.

I don't know how extensive it was, but Rory solicited my thoughts in advance and I overheard him asking others as well. He can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think he was interested in getting as much player input as he could about the format before a decision was made. So, there may not be any conflict on this point. This director was listening. Let's get the USBGF's input too.
