Hi Alan
“I'm leaving this discussion for a few weeks - Going to try and raise that pathetic 40%. People's views show no sign of changing, I find most of the views here backward, negative, or with agenda, and as usual no one offers a decent alternative.”
Thanks…Alan did you read my suggestion of sliding scales related to the level of inactivity and the relevant rating gap? If so, what didn’t you like about it? You could have anything up to and including a 15 game cutoff threshold if you want – just by having the numbers reflect that.
“What's the worst that can happen by trying something? What are people so afraid of?”
I might get in the team on a 15-games in six months basis :-).
“I'm with the International Director Andrew Burnett regarding the Brexit analogy. Unless you've played or been around the Olympiad team recently then you don't know what you're talking about. Andy is strong enough to see this through.”
Well then if you’re right, you’ll get support from the other players :|
I’ll read any reply and continue following the thread but I need to bow out here…Cheers
