I think the idea was it would happen as well as regular tournaments rather than instead of, in the hope of getting newer people involved and as good practice to help us yokals compete more with the London elite. Obviously this has had knock on effects with the amount of regular tournaments but I think it has coincided coincidentally with a drop off in London players. If it was done a year or two ago I doubt the same would've happened. The NS was amazing but very London dominated, which maybe put some people off, the TBC has perhaps gone too far the other way.
No harm in trying something, it's been good for some and less so for others but hopefully helps with planning for future years.
