(Matt C-G was probably the youngest in the Intermediate, by several years.)

Thats because he's like 10 years old or something. I offered him a playdate with my 9month old daughter. He just laughed. As if I was joking.

I agree Chuck. I know there has been some encouragement for younger players (Midwests kids only event etc) in some tournaments, but I genuinely think that maybe the ABT sponsoring some online events (i.e. cash prizes, play with the Giants or something). Greater involvement with the up and coming players from the senior more successful players is whats required. Some kind of glamorization of the game somehow? Pictures of hot young people playing BG in major magazines?

OR.... How about... a BG side event at the WSOP? Lets get the players interested.
