Thats what i think aswell. Rather than having 3 clubs with 10 members for example, have one club with 30 members, split into 3 leagues, so then everyone has a chance of winning their league.
You have classes in horse racing so why not pigeons
I dont visit the forum very often so i havent noticed this as much as you have obviously, but i agree that it shouldnt be brought up in the situations you mention. If someone asks which ETS make is best, the only discussion should be the pros and cons between the ETS systems and manual clocking shouldnt even enter the conversation with regards to the ETS. have to agree with you there.
