Appreciate this alternative idea but surely that should be a new competition. The MacIsaac & Nancy elder is aimed specifically at club members or more precisely club champion. Therefore cs membership should not be a requirement so long as the player is a member of the club. To expand these events maybe it should not be restricted to just the club champ especially if they dont want to take part. Maybe the club can nominate a player as well as club champ.
Imo the problem of these events has been getting the matches organised and played. Perhaps the first two rounds can be arranged at a central venue on one day. First round in morning, losers of the first round still play in the afternoon but as graded friendly. Depending on the entry further one day events could be organised in the same format. By advertising the one day dates in advance players will then know what they are committing to. Where as currently they dont know if they are committing to travel from Dumfries to Inverness for one game which is putting people off. However I also agree the event doesn't have a high profile or well known of who is eligible or how to enter as relying on club Secretaries to promote.
