But then you are excluding the parents of those kids that arrive for the Saturday start from playing.
Plus, even if the parents get there a day earlier for their start, what do their kids do for that whole day?
My teenage is happy to wander around on his own, but some other parent's 8 year old can't be left to fend for themselves for an entire day.
No, three days is a non-starter, IMO.
Good Point. Non-starter? Don't know......
Also, Profs work hard all year, giving up the chance to play in tournaments week after week. There is no way that it would be right to take away the one event that is made just for them, the Prof Cup. That's what would have to happen to make Nats a three day event.
Better reason for 2 days!!!!! lol
I'm happy doing however many rounds for the Masters with whatever size cut. I'm there for Pokémon (although I do like to have one whole hour during the entire weekend to look at other things at Origins! ), so that's fine for me, speaking for myself.
But POP has to figure out the timing of the tournament and how it will fit into everything else that they host that weekend. I'm sure they are taking players needs into consideration, and I hope they can come up with something to make the cut more "fair", but they have a lot of other things that have to be considered as well, that most players are totally unaware of.
Agree but "fair" is a tough word. There is never going to be a "fair" top cut. It is mathematically undoable (is that a word?).
And yes, POP has a lot of other things that are not on the radar screen for most folks.
