Yes, that is right Casual Observer.
My thought was that when you look at the squads. There are 4 squads for the tournament and squads B C and D are almost full if not full and over flowing.
The only problem is that you have 9 bowlers at the moment in A squad, it just seems hardly worth the squad running. The lack of atmosphere and the lack of bowlers in some cases can pose advantages and disadvantages when it comes to tournament bowling, it could play into some bowlers hands bowling quicker games with less bowlers as apposed to slower games with a full squad, etc. etc. then for some other bowlers it may not.
I have entered myself in A squad and don't have a problem with bowling in A squad. The way I look at it, all those bowling in B Squad will have to get up and bowl the next day at an early hour where as on the second day those bowling in A squad will be bowling at Lunchtime.
At the end of the day I am not the tournament director and I am not involved in anyway in the running of the tournament. I just hope that between now and the start of the tournament there are a few more bowlers that would like to bowl in A squad.
I hope that no one took my last post as say that bowlers shouldn't have a choice in when they bowl cause that wasn't the case. Yes there are advantages and disadvantages of each squad but at the end of the day, the tournament director has the final decision on the format of the tournament. The whole reason I posted my last post was because people enter and pull out of tournaments based on if they can or can't bowl. Between now and when the tournament starts 5 of the 9 bowlers in A squad at the moment may pull out. If this happens and no one else enters into the squad, then is it going to be viable to run the squad with only 4 people??? that is a decision for the Tournament Director and if the squad doesn't run then it could pose problems in terms of running times for squads and then what happens on the second day when the squads switch around.
Anyway, that is just my thoughts.
I will be there to bowl no matter what the format.
