Roger, points taken and understood. But the issue i see with the competetive element is that the competition will span many events. So first rounds in Edinburgh with some teams scoring points. Then off we go to Milton Keynes and someone is winning the league/comp so far, then off we go to somewhere else.....The whole thing is meaningless to the crowd because they havent seen the earlier rounds, and wont see the next ones or finalee either!
So if you had to come down on one side of the fence, which one would it be?
