No, I do not think the new guys should be left out, what I said was that the tournament should be enlarged. This is easy as most large casino tournaments have hundreds of entrants. The main thing that bothers me is the exclusivity of it, even though I was able to play the first time. But as with the convention and many other related events those that have participated before have a higher standing in the order of preference, getting better tables at the convention, etc. The best course of action would be to encourage the Flamingo to accepts more entries. But we are not in charge and can only accept the situation and argue amongst ourselves, which we do well...Peter
