Mike, it is interesting to read the view of someone who has actually used the board. I am also going to borrow your readjustment argument as an excuse for my performances south of the border. It must be the brown and white squares. It makes sense now. 8)
My concern is that:
As you say some people bid over the odds (ie £50) and thus other players cannot get them. Which coceivably could happen.
Or nobody bids for them.
Or you bid for it and your opponent doesn't wish to play on it. Believe it or not this could happen...
With that said - lets trial it! Its got to be worth a go as we cant lose anything out of it. However, if its a bidding process all boards need to be available for bids. (IE. We cant have a situation where the top 3 boards in the Open have the boards as standard and everyone else has to bid. Its all or none.)
