Dang, Scott, I was trying to figure out how to say that. If they did that then there wouldn't be any restriction on who plays who. The 50 member club could compete against the 250 member club quite nicely. I wouldn't take the top 12 of that 30, just the first 12 to play.
Shoe has already 'fessed up that this isn't a cash grab so if that's true then the money end of it doesn't come into play.
