Jeff, thanks for your reply. If you disagree with the term 'elite', that's fine, but still, you do cash in these tournaments and I wouldn't want to come up against you.
When I first put forward the question on this forum to the organisers, the information about reasoning behind decisions was not forthcoming at all. The reason given was that there weren't any weekends free, so when I realised there was a Twin Tour that didn't clash with anything the weekend before, I, of course, wanted to ask about that.
I fully understand the reasoning, with regards to the required/desired conditions, now that they have been explained, but I still feel that the task facing basically all of the Youth females and some of the Youth males in making any money back at all is a mammoth one, which possibly could have been avoided.
I don't necessarily disagree with the chosen tournament, based on conditions and matching up to the Werribee setup, but I still wonder why a separate, smaller payout for the Youth kids (who are being asked to enter a tournament they normally wouldn't) isn't possible.
I'm not going to post anything more on this, as I can see that the format has been set, which is fine. My intention when writing these posts was not to slander anyone or put anyone down, just to offer an alternative to the situation.
With regards to the insulting last comment about only looking out for myself, as I said, I am speaking on behalf of others who feel the same way. I have always been taught to speak up and question decisions when unsure of the reasoning behind them, which is what I have done.
Thank you to Jase and Jeff for replying,
