In my opinion the Mixed Tour needs to remain as is and running a Women's Tour along side the Open Tour is the best solution, slightly scuppered this year by the fact that women playing Co-ed in Hawaii are playing Co-ed in the open tour instead of the women's tour (and i am not attributing blame.)
Next year with there only being the need for one GB Co-ed team, and one GB Women's team, there should be a greater (female) resource to devote to the seperate Tours.
I also advocate the setting up of a split Tour, for many of the reasons listed already, but would like to make to point that people should stop saying that a reason for not doing it that they want to watch the better teams play. Either you will be winning the "lower" division and so you will be promoted and can play the top teams or there will be teams who are better than you and so you can watch them play and aim to beat them.
