To all the Moms I addressed in the before mentioned article.  If you 
would like to see how a real tourney works.  Open your eyes.
Get your head out of your kids game and look around. Nine times out of Ten, 
your child will plop himself in front of the best players and will tell 
them, that they will beat the older player.  That is right while you are 
complaining to operators such as myself your child is picking a fight.  
These matches are not part of the tourney and you still complain that your 
child loses.  Duh, what do you expect.  Most tournies run age divisions,  to 
prevent this from happening.  If anyone has the right to complain it is the 
older players.  They get Shafted left and right.  Parents have actually had 
older players kicked out of tournies and pokemon establishments.  The 
younger players have tournies that are held Nation Wide but what do the 
older players get the Shaft.  To all the parents that do not fit this 
description I apologize to.  I still love every one of you.
