[font "Arial"][red][size 3]By no means am I going to beat on you about this topic. My suggestion comes from personally hosting a few large BFT get togethers and understanding what it takes to put something like the Wiper tournament together. It is a pain in the behind, and not meaning to speak for people personally involved with last years wiper event, but I know one person who was directly involved that could vouch for it being a pain in the behind due to the size it has became.
Besides, I have participated in the wiper tournament the years previous (from the beginning of it) and I can honestly say it was better as an event, rather than a full blown tourney! It seemed to me that too much ego was going around than people out to have fun at last years event. I just hate to see what was supposed to be a get together turn into this monster.
I will participate no matter what, as long as we have water to launch boats. I am there for the fun and run into great friends.
I had a blast last year too, but my opinion is to keep it around 25 teams![/size][/red][/font]
