I heard that the new proposed dates, clashed with a ladies tour, and as this was ladies nationals, and ladies interleague perhaps it would be advantagous if they could actually be there.

There are 50 odd players on the ladies tour. Surely it makes more sense to move that?  |

Or better still cancel the ladies event altogether . . It's a poor state of affairs when they're rescheduling one of the biggest events of the year to accomodate women  |

That sounds about right, but it won't affect the majority of the Croydon players involved in the Open, so it's not all bad. |

It will affect several who have already paid their money.
I will speak with Danny and Hannah and we can decide what's the best option. If our date remains the same then those affected will receive a refund.

Yes it does. It's fekking stupid.
I'm happy to leave it as it is as I won't be going to Yarmouth now as they've moved the Ladies KO to the Friday. The other people affected are the Clarkes, Michael Brown, Sean Halligan, Rod Altes and Sarah King. So far just the Clarkes and Sarah have paid their entry.
There may be others but that's all I can think of. |

Are there no other dates seeing all the Hotshots players you have mentioned have supported this comp in the past? |

I think it comes down to whether or not the competition should be rescheduled for 5 people out of the 64 . . I understand where you are coming from but that equates to just under 8% of the . . In addition, only 2 of those 5 have paid so far . . |

But up until today this all wasn't to be known so it just shows the importance of paying early  |

Can you explain the logic in that argument? 2 out of 5 Hot Shots have paid - that's a 40% payment rate. The overall payment rate is just 34%.
Are Hotshots supposed to predict these things?
Seriously though Sean helped me big time in running the thing last year - I think it's reasonable to have a look at the calendar and see if there is an alternative date. |

My theory is that their is no time in the calendar, and thats why when comp dates change, they always affect someone, whether it be an officaial EPA event, or in this instance more local comps.
You are the organiser so can pretty much do what you like, but I am sure people that have factored in this date will be equally peeved if they cannot play due to it being rescheduled.
