now we are getting somewhere. i think it would be unfair to punish a club for hosting an open and a qualifier. it would be impossible to look up the tourneys that broke even or lost $$$.
i don't think anyone said the "sky was falling" yet everyone on this post agrees that tournaments have cancelled at a higher rate than before. i agree with those that overbook should cut back, sometimes easier said than done, and you have to overbook sometimes to know what overbooked is.
