I don't see how this will solve the problem hannah. This may be all well and good for the larger teams. It will increase, slightly, the number of teams signing up early but there will always be small clubs who want to enter Tour who cannot commit early. The problem arises due to the open entry to Tour. As I can't see this being abolished there will always be the danger of over-subscription for an event which will cause problems with pitch time. I do think that its unacceptable that Tour A gets so much more pitch time than anyone else for the same price. Someone questioned earlier why there isn't a standard game length in the UK. The question wasn't answered but it'd be interesting to hear peoples points of view on it.
