Am having an email meltdown but hope to have it fixed soon<br>
<br>
Meanwhile, here is an alternate idea for consideration: a "Try it, you'll like it! Program"<br>
<br>
Extend to our 0 to 20 players the opportunity to play without entry fees in one of our open sectionals in 2017. Player chooses which tournament. Does not apply to nlm tournaments.
<br>
Perceived advantages: achieves our goal of giving player exposure to an open tournament, but has much smaller financial impact on Unit than a wide open "play free" policy. Also, builds in a time limit. Some players will never move beyond 20. We (the Board,
I mean) can decide in a year whether to drop it, extend it to new members only, keep it open to all under 20s who have not yet done it, or other options.
