Keith/Andy
I think these type of things need a central venue like the SNCL, which sounds like the way you are thinking for the West Andy, or a regionalised type approach.
The MacIsaac is clearly in need of a revamp (appreciate Keith is well aware of this and working hard on these types of issues). Can the MacIsaac not just be replaced with the East/West? It seems to me, the two events are not really much of an event at all, and are actualy trying to do the same thing.
It would basicaly be the same thing for both events if merged - an East event, and a West event, with the 2 winners meeting up, making a national champion (or MacIsaac) champion.
So you get an East champion, a West champion and an overall champion. Have the regionalised East & West games in a SNCL format at central venues. The uncertaintity of dates and location seems to be the main issue putting players off the MacIsaac.
Thats my idea. I hope it wouldn't be seen to tarnish the history or name of the 'MacIsaac'. Definetly not the intention.
