Also agree with George. Would also throw in the lack of certainty over location/distance and potentially the date is a challenge to many small-medium clubs (perhaps even large clubs too). It makes it difficult to put together a team. Central venues is key to modernising these competitions. Also getting rid of the 'provision of snacks/refreshments' would be a good idea. Doesn't sound a big deal perhaps, but team captains and club organisers need simplicity. Anything otherwise is going to put people and clubs off.
Reducing Spens to 5 players was a good idea, although it didn't improve things much if it all this season. Maybe reducing to 4 might help further. If there was a vote next week on reducing the Richardson's to 6 boards - am pretty sure my club (Dunbar) would vote yes.
