If you want players there, you'll get them no problem but the organisation, timing and advertising of the event fell short. I believe the event has a future and we should be able to get 64 runners from Div 1, but only if its worked out and not just stuck under our noses.
26 players from the 1st division, 85% no doubt of which were the regular faces at tournaments. Its an appalling turn out for a Div 1 event, its barely 25% of the 1st division population.
Alex, I appreciate that these comps were put together at short notice but considering I had no knowledge until approached by a National Manager from Rileys just previous to our Half-Season meeting with his idea's ... I did not exactly have a lot of time to get any form of feedback from the membership. I duly reported the comps at the meeting and to be honest with you mate its a fete in its own to have these comps being contested this season. The plus factor that I am getting out of this is that it is being talked about in a constructive manner and that can only be a benefit as to when it is discussed at the Winter AGM in September.
