Hi Andy, I'm not part of the organization anymore but I'm taking the liberty to answer a few of the points you brought up in the chat. First, for the “less popular” divisions as you say, those spots were filled but they got 3 cancellations in the last few days so why not give it time to see if they can fill these spots again. In the last couple of years in Quebec, there is a valiant effort from Tds to put forth the junior and female divisions. As for the caps, I was the first in Quebec to use that system, which is widely used in Canada, if it wasn't for these caps, the event would have been 85 % MA2 and MA40. In a season-long series like the Circuit, it is beneficial to have a better distribution to create divisional battles. I do agree that we have to come up with a solution soon and I believe this will go through a 2-day event where MPO, MP40, MA1 and FA1 play 1 day and MA40, FA40, MA2, FA2 and MJ15 play on the second day, but to achieve that, we have to let the organizers time to build a solid volunteers base. Cheers, hope to see you soon.

I know what they're trying to do. Chris is trying to do the same thing here in VT by letting women and juniors sign up a day early. The problem is that it just doesn't work. You only get more women and juniors playing by getting them involved in the sport through casual rounds first, not by reserving tournament spots. This simply creates an advantage for the few at the expense of the many. If you want more juniors and women playing tournaments, then get more hooked on the sport outside of tournaments. This is the only way those demographics will truly grow. It also actually hurts the points series aspect as most of your players will now not be able to get into 5 tournaments in a single division. This is the worst possible registration system and should be avoided at all costs! I was actually drawn to want to play in Quebec this year because of the huge MA40 participation. It's very disappointing to see the popularity of the sport amongst people of my age and ability being treated as though it's a problem instead of a blessing.

I'm super excited to finally be playing in Quebec again! I somehow managed to get into the second tournament even though 20% of my division was given away before registration even opened for some reason. This supply-side economics system is failing once again, so I'd like to ask my previous question again. What happens if these spots don't fill?
