I knew this would come up. I have been fighting for the split categories for a long time. This year they just agreed to do Men. I totally understand that this not fair. I even said that when they mentioned it. Our only hope is that if another category doesn't show up, then we can take that money and split it among the Women's Northern Traditional. A long time ago at the meeting, the powers that be felt that there was not enough of the 2 separate categories to split them. Then Men's Southern Straight started showing up in droves. So they finally agreed on them, but said we don't have enough Women's No. that come to make a separate category. Let me say that I apologize for this (even though I was never for the ruling on this). My vision is to one day be able to have it separate for both Men and Women and not have to fight over it. Please accept my apology. I do hope that this doesn't deter you from coming. Like I said, there is usually a category that doesn't show up, maybe we can work with that. LQ |
