Tournament Poll

[British Tommy]

Bootie,
I really don't want to get into a war of words with you, especially what has happened here at the Blitz recently but I cannot let your reply go unanswered.

You've brought this up before and I believe I have answered it before.

Ok... for the last time.
And if I remember correctly, you did not give a reasonable answer last time.

* The FGM is easier for me to allocate sections to tournament designers. They have their own webpage to display their tournaments. They are made moderators of their own MB section.

* I dont have the powers to do this at the Blitz.

* If I did it at the Blitz I would be relying on others to keep on top of it which means more work for the limited staff we have at the Blitz.

* Ive invested money and time into paying for the site and purchasing software to design the site.

* I enjoy working on the webpages.

Fair comments above. You own and run the FGM plus pay for it out of your own pocket. I don't have any problem with this.

* If your committed to taking part in a tournament what is the problem with signing up for the FGM?
The problem with signing up for the FGM? I belong to two clubs which are the Blitz and GS. It was my choice to join these clubs, I wasn't forced to join them.

I'll tell you what I will do though... I will run a poll and ask the guys who have signed on over at the FGM if they want to keep the individual forums and web pages for their tournaments open. If the majority vote no I will close it down.
This is up to you mate. No one has asked or demanded you do this.

So let's end the subject right now and concentrate on the games.
