yes, exactly, but as i said before, if people are going to shell out money to come to a tourney im sure they want to stand a decent chance, it's not like everyone is in cali. we dont all have tourneys right in our back yards. a lot of people have to shell out for travel and probably hotel fees if they arent staying with other community members and if they feel the current balance of the game is going to be preventive for their chances then why would they bother? as i said its a vicious circle and nobody wants to go first.
