I also couldn't understand Martin cancelling his sponsorship of the plate just because players from the first division were allowed in the plate, I can assure you the top players would not want to be in the plate, for some players in the first div they have no chance in the singles but would do well in the plate.

I can understand it. What is so wrong with the lower divisions having a competition to them selves without the first division. It keeps them playing longer and gives them a chance of a trophy that they wouldn't have a chance in otherwise. I agree that the majority of first Div players wouldn't want to enter the plate, but there will be some that will lose there first round match, or not even turn up for it, just to have an easier time of it. We'll just have to wait and see how many first div players enter the plate this summer and how many are still in it by the semi's, and if a first div player wins it.
Any player/team failing to arrive and play in the first rounds of any of the main comps WILL NOT be entered into the Plate comps.
