no

As in "no, I don't like the idea" or "no, I' haven't had any thought about it"?

No, he's winning, and the honour of a nation is at stake.

I like the way the tournament has always been and that included not having put pick ladies matches.

So you like that someone can pick consistently till the final then finish in the middle because they've had to change their pick knowing what the other people have picked?

Come on, Marc.

You know you cannot reason with a conservative.

They would be likely to do that any way and pick a less likely player to win the final even with closed votes via e-mail. The leaders of each round gain advantage in the subsequent rounds in the current point system. Your issue would be with the points system if you have the problem which you have stated.

Till I see further protests in this regard I will assume other people are happy with the way the tournament is.

Which is why we cannot reason with Marc?
