Hi, I didn't go to the Nov 3 tournament, but in reading the responses I felt like I had to say something. I'm all for dividing ACF. For those who have been on the circuit for many years and have chewed up teams like DPU, bravo. However, keep in mind that you were once a newbie too. I think there should be a place where teams can play against those of the same skill level, and gradually progress to the status of the gods of QB that we all admire. You can't expect the average QB undergrad just starting out to be able to sucessfully compete with A teams. Losing is all part of the game and a learning experience I know, and playing against advanced teams is a great learning experience, but I can testify that it does get old even if your team works hard. Being a member of the DePauw team, I personally took insult to "An accessible set means that when the tossup goes to an end, DePauw C has heard the answer." Ouch. Salt in a wound, pal. We are aware that we are not nearly the best team on the planet, and we are not looking for handouts or painfully easy questions. I don't believe Stan said that we were divinely entitled to win games without effort. We're just an example of one of those darn newbie teams that always get slaughtered. I think other newbie teams would agree that the option of being able to enter a tournament with the possibility of positively competing against other teams and being able to beat a team other then their B team would be appreciated.
