Lurey, I hear what you are saying and I respect your opinion. I dont play much, at this age, I do more watching and commenting than picking the ball up. But what I am saying is, if every player knows that its sudden death and no second chance, maybe they will play their hearts out. Anyway, thats pretty much how it has been. The winners move on and then the loser with the highest point also qualifies. On second thought, it might not be a bad idea, after all, these tournaments are made more for spirit and participation, not just winning.
