Hmmm, I'll happily say that I think that although there's room for improvement, they have been a success and it'd be a shame for them to be killed off next year.
I think Fans going to where they are staged is important, I know this means some venues are more acceptable than others but it fits and flows much better, whats the point in a professional sport being played behind closed doors as it is the WSA at the EIS good as the WSA is, that the WCQ were played in the Badminton Hall gave the crowds a chance to visit and watch.
Qualification for the finals shouldnt carry a minimum event - if a player earns enough points to qualify then they should qualify -
Moving onto the finals, personally 16 I felt was enough, this allows for a differentiated format from the qualifiers
Day 1 and 2, First Round (Best of 7)
Day 3 Quarter-Finals (Best of 7)
Day 4 Semi-Finals (Best of 11)
Day 5 Final (Best of 17)
