Given the size of the tournament it runs a lot quicker if I confine my activities to being the Director of Play, rather than doing double duty as a player and DOP. At least that is the reason I give when people ask me why I'm not playing. Nonetheless, I do suit up when there as odd number of players, to remove the need for a bye. However it doesn't always end well for me, as in the game below!
