All of which I personally explained to each of the 120 teams I talked to as I handed them the flyer. You can only fit so much information on one page. The main intent of this flyer was not to be the sole piece of information given to the teams, but a supplement to the discussion. Posting them around the regional is what we did with the extras after I spoke with every team I could find. Do you want a general transcript of what I told each team as well?

Let's get real.

Why didn't you reverse what you did?

The stuff you told teams could have been put onto the flyers that were handed out, and were posted; and the info on the flyer could have been what you told them.

I think that Alan and I made valid points.

Because then people would be arguing about him doing it that way.

I wouldn't; and I doubt Alan would.
