Good lord. GBO and KCWO both NTs on back to back weekends. I'm gonna go out on a limb and suggest that's not coincidental.
I'm sure that will be good for traveling pros, but some of the the "added cash" locals better start saving money now, or they may have to choose one tournament or the other.
2) Nothing against the good people of Ohio who run the Brent Hambrick, but their Pro Purses are paltry compared to every other NT. How the PDGA would opt for them for NT status over a tournament like the Green Mountain Championship in Vermont, which has one hell of a Pro Purse, boggles my imagination.
You assume an awful lot, don't you? Like A) Jeff and the GMC crew wanted NT status, and B) the Hambrick had any "competition" in their region for an NT.

The GMC applied to be an NT, and the Ledgestone did as well.

Got have willing alternatives in order to have alternatives at all.
I've been told that the BHMO is on an alternating NT rotation. Probably because it's a fundraiser for the Leukemia Society and as a tribute to Brent. I'm sure there's more to the story.
Wouldn't be surprised that the lack of pro majors has something to do with whatever "tour" (for lack of a better word) that Jussi's supposedly putting together
Having NT's on back to back weekends is a not a bad idea at all; I think it makes perfect sense. The PDGA just needs to be clear about their intentions and what they tell other tournaments.
