Maybe Jesters in its current format has run its course and belongs in the past; it needs to be built upon to incorporate women and a bigger catchment area. I don't think this would detract from the atmosphere at all, it would merely heighten it. It has the potential to become very big for the amateur I feel, if only it could expand and appeal to a younger,wider audience (as i said in my original post).

Yes but the question is it an amature tournament in your opinion??????
