I would like a reaction from tournament directors to see if they think this is a pronblem or whether the present situation is satisfactory. I see that many tournaments have li :blink: mits as to country, language, or other limitations. I can see that this is desireable, and should be continued. However, I see many times that in the later rounds this tournament calls for subs, and needs subs in order to finish the tournament. However, when you go to sub in the tournament you see that it is not open to the public. there is also no way to tell the tournament director that you want to be a sub becuase you cannot chat to a person in a tournament. thus you have a situation where the TD is calling repeatedly for subs in a tournament that is closed to most subs. I bring this up to see if it is a good idea to lift the restrictions in later rounds so that you can let people who might not qualify originally sub in order to help you out and finish the round or the tournament on time. I don't have a particular feeling one way or the other. I wonder if it is preferable to keep your original restrictions in later rounds, or is it preferable to make it easy for people to sub so you can complete your tounrnament without having to give out a lot of averages. I think that if your tournemane is restricted as to subs, you should state this when you advertise for subs.
