Tourney: Cambridge Regional Bench Minor Tournament 31/03/2012-1/04/2012

My comments were driven by the specifics of this tournament only and its loose alignment with the possible birth of UKHBP - comments not driven by/aimed at general tournaments etc. If you re-read in that context then:

Surely most of us can relate to the notion of being discouraged by the thought that we may not even play in a tournament, despite being 'picked' (read: available) and travelling 400 miles?

MCR were/are looking to encourage our new players (I don't see it saying 'hoardes' anywhere BTW) to get in tournaments ASAP - but I was musing that this particular format might not be the one for us to point them at. Nothing to do with getting thrashed - everything to do with actually playing.
