I was curious after Dave asked him but there were actually 5 women that beat Saxon in the row that year. He would've edged out Kara Saunders by 30 seconds to finish in 6th on the women's leaderboard.
You talk community, I would love to see a pro-amateur event. Plus not sure on the logistics, but would like to see random drop-in workouts at affiliates by some of these top games athletes. Kinda like a book signing tour.
I am but one datapoint, but I absolutely love the idea of having Elite Teams AND individuals at the games. Personally, if you eliminate Teams, I cannot justify the expense of travelling. It's already a stretch for myself and my wife. I personally love watching the teams, so having both is enough to justify. That's just me though. I'm sure there are people on the opposite side of the spectrum.
I don’t like the off season team idea that is when you see some of the aging athletes, but I would rather off season partner events and competitions with a championship series.
