Now to get back to business with the purpose of this thread...
Sweater hit the nail on this issue. He layed it out there before I had a chance too..
Sweater is absolutely correct!!!
The caliber of a tournament has nothing to do with the name you give it, it's about the caliber level of the players that compete, nothing else..
It's not about the "Style of Tables", Location, or even how many players participate in any given event...
It is truly all about if a player can win!
What would happen if,? at a Colorado State Championship only 40 players showed up, and it was a total of only Colorado players, no out of state players.
And then only 15 players played open singles, and I won that event. What would be said then? also keeping in mind that close to half of the players in the event play the local scene on a weekly basis, the other half hideout during the year like their in caves hibernating.
Now let's add...
Now according to the name, I just won an open singles title at Colorado State with a bunch of Rookies, Amateurs
and experts... What would be said then?
Something like," Hey Jedi, that open singles title you won is a watered down title..
Well, I could say, Fuck you all suck dick.. it's a State Championship event,and an open singles title.
But if that same title was earned while having Pros, and Pro- Masters in the mix of the 15 players in the OS, then what would be said then ?
Hey jedi, that OS title is weak, because it was a tiny bracket win?
I can go on and on with examples, but I'll start with this mentioned above.
