TDHA folks (BOD),
Why don't you guys print a survey card and require each team that registers for the tournament this year to express their opinion. That way you get a 100% opinion from 100% of people who are actually competing. That would get you some actual useful data for next years consideration.
I believe the data within the two polls conducted here to be pretty worthless if you ask me. I'd be curious to know how many of the voters actually hunt the competitions, and also believe that there are a lot of hunters and competitors who don't necessarily do the internet / forum deal.
I believe they do this already....except this issue wasnt an issue last year. Good post....
The way I see it...the same general 5% or so is going to win regardless of the rules. With or without the barr rule...it is more or less the same people winning. ITs the pricipal of the situation now.
