Points
Okay just back from the DMA and I'll bullet point my thoughts, again my thoughts are my own and not meant to offend, I'll start with the bad points then do the good.
The players area should be covered guys, come on, this is common sense and it would not have been hard to do.
The scaffolding was unfortunate but really should have been looked at prior to game start.
The schedule was a sham and should have been sorted out, maybe look at bringing in someone who runs the tournament schedule.
Marshals on the whole were excellent, however, I pay alot of money and so do you to play these tournaments to have some PRO players who is on marshal duty throw down the arm bands and tell you to put them on yourself is downright disrespectfull. they are there gaining points and as such should conduct themselves accordingly.
Oh and a little bit of wood with an arrow on it wouldn't have gone amiss.
Right good points.
EXCELLENT effort for DMA, the fields were a good size, the marshals on the whole was excellent, the facilities were excellent, all in all I would say a success.
Now all the critics think about this, would you be complaining as much if the sun had been out all day and the wind and rain didn't blow away 2 beer tents and wreck the scaffolding?
Here is one for the future to maybe think about.
No team marshal the mill series but a school of marshals employed to do just this series.
If a player is 1 4 1 for playing on or cheating we pull them 1 4 1 obviously then we make the team go out with 6 players the next game, might work you know.
Anyway it was nice to see everyone again, next time FLY for goodness sake, 1 hour, see you all in Toulouse where I hope the bloody sun shines!!!!!!
