Quoted from Newsom:PAPA already bends over backwards to provide the intermediate and strong casual players a very serious, hugely competitive tournament in an awesome facility. C players are treated as well as the best players in the world.
They play at the same venue with the same rules using the same format...I would expect the world championship of a game or sport to be run much more like the "other" world championship. -IFPA. Where only the highest ranking players are invited.
(The IFPA tournament does look sweet, I will have to go to it one year when I get serious about pin again).
Fundamentally, the question is:
Why only bend over backwards for strong players? Many players are 'serious' without being good, or at least good on the standard of PAPA.
I'm not commenting on the various policy proposals. This is strictly a philosophy question.
