KO Preference
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.
