And it's time for the chance to try and recruit
new teams to the circuit.
I think, at some
point, people suggested passing out flyers to teams, and
I'd like to make a couple of points.
Despite
people's distaste of institutional representatives, a
fair, non-combatative attempt to sway these people is
not a bad idea. After all, having an institutional
person supportive of the circuit can only do good, and
it can't hurt to try.
Second, the proper
approach should not be "CBI is evil; drop it and join the
circuit," but rather, "Why not try the circuit IN ADDITION
to CBI." If College Bowl is so bad in comparison,
then they will drop it eventually. If not, well, so
what?
