but the issue is is that no everyone plays at a friendly level, and we all know this. Sure, with a few mates in the garden on a nice day its all good, but there is also the tourney factor where people pay real hard earned, honest to god CASH to play and they want to win. Both types have to be accounted for.
I am starting to get fed up with (play for fun) excuses to shiity rules. Sure its nice, but in a lot of cases its not the case*
