While I agree, to have a good training site like Dartford open every weekend of the year, be able to turn up and know you're going to ball against a half decent level of competition is the key thing, there has never been anything like that before.
Now at least we have Sid's NSPL in 3 flavours, the PA if you fancy that and Dragon's Lair too.
I think more teams are thinking lets play every weekend and enter fewer, bigger, events. I think that's a good thing personally.
(not trying to pick a fight, just throwing in my 2p)
