I am only going to reply to one of your questions:-
The intention is to consider all submissions CS members wish to make, but to make some of the major changes you list you would need to garner considerable support.
The Richardson is a club team event and all players and teams can have an input.
It is unlikely that the demands of an individual’s(s) or a single club will win the day.
This season, for instance, the Richardson started with 8 teams of 8 players. Basically, they all have an input.
As the post says, we will consider all submissions, but NOT from the forum.
To be honest trawling the forum for posts, deciding if they are proposals or discussions, then validating the individual poster against the CS membership is not really a feasible or practical enterprise. This is one of the reasons we have asked for written email submissions and why forum submissions will not be considered.
We have also allowed non-CS members to have an input through their club secretary, providing the club is a club member of CS (which it must be to play in the Richardson).
I cannot possibly answer every query here on the forum, but I will acknowledge emails sent in and bring them into the review by the Board.
There has been a lot of discussions on the forum in the past leading nowhere, now we are giving you a real opportunity to have an input. It's up to you to take it.
