I thought this was only open to master and above, seems like what you just mentioned was the reason why. I know what you are saying Tess, but quite frankly, its a tour, not multiple tour, 1 tour, 1 set of conditions.
On a side note, congrats on your finish Tess, great playing.
On another side note, something that will need to be addressed shortly if it continues as I have heard it from more then one person. If you drop a match after a bad shot or not scoring on the first hole, you should be disqaulified from that tourney. This is single play rounds folks, practice all you want but be ready to play when you agree to play.
