If my read on the general attitude of the competitor base has been misguided (which is sounds like it may have been), I will consider reopening the tournament. I'm not willing to make a 'yay' or 'nay' call on it right now.
With regards to continuing
or the possibility of a DI-RP group, I am making no firm decisions or commitments just now. I really don't want to make assurances that I may not be able to keep and then just end up disappointing people.
Whatever happens, the members & watchers will be kept informed.
