Okay, a few comments 1. If you don't like it, don't play it. There are plenty of teams to go around. 2. We all have our own roles to play in a community. Some choose to coach, some to play, some to host, and some to be the top players. I have incredible respect for anyone who does any of these well. I also have respect for my fellow weekend warriors. Afterall, anyone who can go and get their butts kicked from Evanston to Ann Arbor to St. Louis, and show up the next week ready to play is doing pretty well. 3. Adam and various other Can. players that read this. I propose next year that there should be a Canadian National Championship (of whatever format). Afterall , a Canadian players background and development is light years away from what most U.S. players have. I'm not suggesting they don't compete as normal, just an additonal tournament with a bit more even playing field. 4. Not all stereotypes are false (look in any social psych book). 5. Plain old invitations based on placement at sectionals is obviously flawed because teams did not even finish in that order at the ICT. Therefore, NAQT has the correct idea in setting up another system. 6. If you want more creation questions write them. Okay, I know this is long, and probably oversimplified, but then again is this really that complicated. Beth
