We got caught up in trying to make everybody happy and may have missed the forest because of the trees. More clubs are requesting State & Regional matches than can be accomodated. In an effort to make that work, in some cases, we split the typical two day State/Regional match into one day matches at different clubs thinking that would be a fair compromise. Sounded good until the phone started ringing....

As it turns out, we failed to consider a key factor. In fact, the very most "keyest" factor and that being the competitor. You know, the one that pays the bills.
