I have to agree Miller. It really is a bit of a let down before this event IMO. Didn’t Steve set up a “Tournament committee” or something? Was a late pro non-member entry discussed at all by them?15 posts today and 6 last week. calcutta would have been real interesting. tournament would have been real interesting.
i'm out of pocket for a few days. will update entry list this weekend.
What criteria are you talking about?It is disappointing to see a competitive field turned upside down by a late entry that does not meet the agreed upon criteria.
All true, but I didn't realize that Ike was not a 'verified member' until this discussion started. And he's not local.Ike is a member, and by the way a senior too -- in fact I drew him at one of the senior events. I lost but I gave him a pretty good fight as I remember it. He's vulnerable to lose like anybody else. We have pretty damn good players throughout our membership. Some are still young and improving, and some are at the other side of the curve.
I was under the impression you needed 20 post 1 month prior to the tournament and be verified.What criteria are you talking about?
I believe he is interested in getting more involved, including the WWYD's. I hear you and Ike played a little one ball variety today, in fact. I see Ike as somebody we want to welcome here, and yes, we also want him to contribute because he has a lot of knowledge and experience that would be a good add. We all have to start somewhere -- how about we start with a little warmer welcome and see what comes of it with Ike? We've had other strong players, including pro level, who join and then we don't get any posts at all. At least Ike has broken the ice -- we know he knows how to log in and post -- that's a start.I would have hoped that as a professional verified member he would have contributed to a WWYD or given some of his expert insight into the game. It appears he is only commenting on a few posts recently in order to qualify for a highly regarded and respected member tournament.
I only control original membership approval and the Verified level -- well I also control the "Banned" level, but let's not go there lol. Both of those I do manually, even though when you first join the process is automatic, the actual approval to become a member here is a manual step by me to limit spam and keep the forums "on topic". The forum software itself has some other levels that I do not control at all -- and apparently one of them is "Active" lol. If you read above, I did merge Ike's original 2005 membership with his more recent one. That is pretty common that someone forgets their log in or they change their email and time lapses, so they simply rejoin under a new name. I merge those whenever I become aware of them, and I just did that today with Ike's.Interesting, after my post Ike was upgraded to 'active member'. Never knew that was a thing
