A good host gives their guest the best of everything - not themselves an advantage. Again, sports should be about setting an example for our kids -not just winning. [/quote]

So clubs that do host tournaments like Madlax & Crabs make it hardest on their own teams?? Is there an example where a Hawks team had a significantly easier road than another team of equal standing? You can't just state the Hawks path, you have to state the paths of other teams that are similar to show whether there was preference. I have actually seen the opposite in Hogan tournaments.
