    In response to Go Green

  • Go Green Said:



Someone should give Banghart the links to this Board and the Voy Board. This question has been answered countless times over the years.... If you don't know the answers to this question, you either are being intentionally obtuse or just have not been paying ANY attention. If you disagree with the rationales for a tournament, fine. But please stop insulting everyone by asking what the benefits of having a tournament are.





. . .Except that part of the disagreement with the rationales for the tournament is precisely that many of us don't believe that there are benefits, or that they are worth the negatives. The fact that we disagree with you does not mean that we're not paying attention to your arguments; we just don't think that the arguments are correct.

I also find it ironic that people are complaining about the earlier tournaments not being recognized, because the main reason those tournaments were played was that the league and the teams didn't want to spend the money on a double round-robin for the women. (The first couple of tournaments had a single-round robin, but it was all in one place, and played over the course of two or three days--must have been wearying, to put it mildly.)

The Banghart quote does emphasize the most perverse aspect of this thing, which is that if Princeton doesn't win, a part of me is actually going to feel sorry for her. CURSE YOU, ROBIN HARRIS!!!!!!
