KO Preference Poll
In an effort to both improve attendance and reduce costs, the BCPA has moved its Knock-Out competitions from Saturday to Friday evenings this year. The move was successful - attendance was dramatically improved and the events were close to breaking even, in contrast to previous annual losses of $1500 or more.
I attended a Friday KO this year and want future KOs to continue on Fridays.
I attended a Friday KO this year and want future KOs to be on Saturdays.
I did not attend a Friday KO this year and want future KOs to be on Fridays.
I did not attend a Friday KO this year and want future KOs to be on Saturdays.
I do not care whether the KOs are on Fridays or Saturdays.
