Whilst I'd always be an advocate of better quality surfaces, surely a National Series has as part of its core challenge the the variety of courts - surface, size, walling, weather, light et al. The teams that are able to adapt across the range should benefit accordingly and not have their successes devalued by the notion that some 'standard' was not achieved - implied or otherwise.
Agreed that single tournaments such as LQ/LO/Euros etc. should be played on the best surface available, but in that drive let's not devalue or dishearten regional groups who've stepped up and made a great fist of supporting the fledgling National Series. IMHO the biggest success provided by the NS initiative has been in the encouragement and growth of these new tournament organisers - long may that continue.
