TBH i think surface is always gonna be an issue. I mean in bristol there are some fantastic courts of amazing size with perfect surface, but these are all only single courts. And when it comes to a tournament with 60+ people coming (as this has often come clear during some tournaments) a single court is just not enough, so the organisisers have to make concessions and this ,more than often, comes at the cost of the surface.
