Not at all. The best
part of the functioning anarchy under which QB
operates right now is that anyone can organize a
tournament in any format, and any team can choose to attend
or not.
What I, and, I assume, the other
poster took exception to was the implication that an
increase in trash and a "level playing field" (i.e.
crapshoot) are somehow "better" or more "fair", whatever
that means, then one of the academic formats currently
in operation.
Best of luck to everybody with
whatever bizarre tournaments they may be
running...
