redsales: I didn't say I agree with someone not allowing me into their club because of some quality about myself I have little choice in or don't want to change. I said a person should have the right to set up those things for their tournament and exclude me. It's their tournament, it should be their choice. So they purposely make it so I can't play, that might not be fair to me, but thems the breaks. In a world of plenty I can go somewhere else. As rod says, there's lots of Ponds here. In a world of scarcity such discrimination can hurt and I may or may not take action against it. Aren't those the major causes of peace, war, strife, and famine? Almost seems like these games sites/ discussion boards are a little microcosm of the world as it is. When California launches its attack against Czech Republic because of the ongoing pattern of the discriminatory use of prize funded tournaments here, then I might worry about it. In the meantime, let them have their club. It's one of the good features of the site. I'm surprised it bothers you as it's the very same thing as if all the members of a fellowship that you are a member of that doesn't have open enrollment decides to have a prize tournament. I wouldn't be able to play in it, nor would anyone that wanted to that the Big Boss of the fellowship wouldn't let join his fellowship.
