Am I missing something? A paper GM doesn't effect me. I'm bothered by the C class shooter that shoots at M or high A level at a major, wins the class and doesn't get bumped up. Next match, I have to deal with the same people again!
All matches will only have 1 or 2 in L10 if any. If you go that way expect to play by yourself. I worked 8 majors this year and the only L10 shooter I can remember was the same guy at a couple of different matches.
So, are you going to pay my room and expenses to hang for another day? CO Nationals is already 5 days plus 4 days travel. I'm retired so I won't miss work.
I went to the standby list on several matches during the last year two years, for every one I was picked up to shoot, only once was with less than a weeks notice to find a room.
