they can see how fun they are, right? I think once a player has played enough to get 10 MP’s (remember…they are much harder to come by when you are new…I remember it took a few scratches to get me to “1”

<p class="MsoNormal">Re, the note about players with under 20 masterpoints play free. Yes, we agreed to this at the recent board meeting, however some of us were discussing it with Nick yesterday at NSC. He was surprised and alerted us that in 199er games
at open tournaments his recollection is that on the order of 80% of the players have under 20 points. That's a lot of entry fees. Going to free plays for <20 points without qualification would make it hard to withdraw it later; the idea arose of calling
it a "special" for this tournament and then seeing it's effects. I'd like to hear John W's assessment of the potential long term financial impact of making the change permanent.<o:p></o:p></p>
