It's apparently going over like a lead balloon:

It's a historic fear of their future, they must be losing tourney money on a big scale from PGF & Triple Crown to do something this drastic. I just wanna get a profile on whomever is gonna pony up 6K for a tourney & then put em on a mailing list so when I invent the next "pet rock" I know I have an easy sale

The people running these organizations are getting rich from the tournaments that they put on. These organizations are their sole means of support and substance. I don't see any ASA board member making a living from ASA Gold or any of the other ASA sponsored tournaments. PGF was created simply to fill certain individuals pockets in my opinion. I guess you cant fault these guys for disparaging anything that keeps the gold from flowing their way.

Competition in business is the American way. Unless you're paying the PGF guys families bills why care what they make & what they do or don't do?
My question so far unanswered is in what Olympic (or non Olympic) sport has any TEAM USA sanctioned governing body EVER had competition (that has scared the bejeebers out of them to the point that they make drastic desperate moves ) like ASA has gotten from PGF? I can only think of individuals that with their own financing took their own road like Bodie Miller
