Since it was an average increase. I'd say it was not disappointing, and it was not great either. I think the AVERAGE increase cited would be almost exactly in line with what I would expect based upon the circumstances of last years meet as opposed to this one.
In other words, the jury is still out on the success of synthetic in Cali on handle. In light of the clarification of the stat being an average, I couldn't really interpret it to fit good or bad.

To be serious, I really think we need about 4 years of data and then compare that to the last 4 year of dirt. You also have to take in effect all sorts of circumstances when analyzing two time periods. You just can't look at the numbers without looking at other circumstances. My 100% opinion on synthetic surfaces will not be complete until the year 2009.
