i agree with this 100 percent. as the home page w/ tournaments has already become an indeterminable mess. but i do believe mark will at some point fix it so we can make some rhyme or reason from it, but in the meantime i simply don't use it at all to choose/view tournaments.
i do instead do like i've always done. i choose my tournaments within the game, and there are already a number of old favorites i recognize and stick with and am confident they'll provide top notch links challenges, devoid of the cartoon crap. anything lw, canuck, mike58, or brucebo (i knew i'd forget some. the linksonline tournaments have been terrific) put together, i will more than likely play. there are others, and i apologize for not recognizing you off the top of my pointy little head, but it's become fairly easy to recognize what to look for in a quality tournament.
edit: oh, and i like the 1.06 mod. any marriage between 1.05 and 1.06 would be acceptable to me. but having them totally separate seems to work for me also. i just wish there was more participation (though there is insurmountable competition as it is).
edit #2: pppfffttt! and i'm also confident dc will get his act together and get the plsa, apcd, and flight tournaments straightened out. the flights have always been my favorite. someday i'd like to see how it feels to win one.
