Quantity vs Quality

I also think your assumptions on how many events ive attended make your entire post pointless.

The only series I didn't go to last year was the CPPL, and as ive also stated I will be attending an event ASAP to compare.

I'll take that as none then?

No, standing at the burger van wearing a playing top doesn't count.

Last year, I attended at least 4 (maybe 5? 6 if you include fed cup) masters events as I was dropping items off to people who had brought stuff from me.

When did playing the event become a prerequisite to being able to judge the quality of an event? I can turn up, watch, listen to the teams bitching about this that and the other, see for myself whats going on.

If anything, not playing gives a beter indication of quality as your not arguing with the refs over bad calls, your watching from the side watching those calls being made and being able to see if they were right or not.

So yes, I can call into the quality of events, whether you want to think so or not, so stop trying to offtopic this thread, and post something constructive or not at all thanks.

By that definition, you exclude 95% of UK ballers though

Not really a better perspective. Just a different one.
Like spectating at an F1 event and thinking you have a better idea how they should run it than the teams and drivers.

Made me laugh Gadget. I'm not allowed near the burger van now until after we've played

Well let's look at it this way then.

Seeing as Yorkie is hosting both the NSPL & "Southern" Masters, then teams more local to Bricketwood will more than likely opt for the local/easy/familiar option (out of laziness/apathy) when the NSPL moves to it's Reading venue for 2/3 legs, diluting the number of teams that attend those fixtures.

Great point Exile.
Then isn't the problem down to apathy of players? if the choice is theirs to make and not the problem being another event series?
