House dealers make an enormous difference to the general behavour IMO.
That is one of the main reasons why I will only play if they are supplied.
House Dealers make a colossal difference and also make it easier for the floor person to get a completely unbiased version of events should a dispute arise.
Most of the negative comments in another thread about mondays competition are due to the current
dealer situation.
Before we can look at providing house dealers more often, we must first train some. We are currently undertaking such training which can only be a positive step in the right direction.
Please don't take this as a cue to a new house dealer debate.
The situation in Nottingham is such that the overwhelming popularity of all competitions would mean finding at least 12 extra staff to cater for all competitions.
Providing House dealers would lead to an increase in numbers which is a large part of the problem.( We simply do not have enough staff)
It is encouraging to see that we are increasing the number of occasions where we do provide house dealers.
Long may this trend continue!
