I might be way out in left field here so excuse me if I 'm a bit off.

The ETOC has always been different and special and by no means your run of the mill indoor electric event. It has that sort of wow, what are they going to do next thing about it. Every years a new something going on.

If it was to come in under the F3P umbrella and run pro quo then it would just be another indoor event like the rest of them. I am sure F3P has a huge future and thats for a multitude of reasons, mainly the ability of the younger talent to get in at a relatively low cost. It has the potential to be a very large part of the hobby.

However the ETOC needs to keep its individuality, if not it will not be the showcase it has become. Out of the box is sometimes the motivator that drives the hobby. Thus it is to my mind great to see one show that maybe leads the way.

If you look back a good few years at the TOC and see what it done to the sport. That was out of the box and it has left a legacy for years and years to come after its demise.
