To me this brings up a question I have often wondered: Why do club owners get testy about members who aren't active? I mean, if a club has even one open spot, what's the point in getting rid of anyone? From a practical standpoint, maybe having a 25 spot cushion would be better than just one, but what advantage is there to the club to kick out anyone before they get to the edge of full?
Club owners want club play. Why? Do club owners make money on club activity? Can anyone answer that? Do club owners make money on club play?
ANSWER
Owners get testy because it takes a lot of time and effort to run a CC especially those of us that run websites too. There are no financial rewards at all for running a CC apart from knowing that something you have take a lot of time and effort to set up is being enjoyed and supported by those who have signed up to it. It makes no sense updating a website and putting 200 + scores and names down if 150 are not even doing anything , that is why they get kicked out and the clubs dont get filled with non active players.The reason Activity is very important is because most people to play this game have some kind of competitive spirit in them and like to do well and entering club tourneys where a lot of players have taken part makes for good competition, rather than playing against one man and his dog.
i Hope that answers your question Soogy
A great reply Bobby, if you have never experienced the level of work involved in running a website, team speak, my league and lots of tournaments you would never know just how much you take for granite. Owning a club is a lot of work, dead beat members seem to add to the work load. I am getting ready to purge shortly, take on some new members that still want to play the game.
Good job Bobby
