That's just my 2 cents, but I think a lot of players are using the surface as an excuse. (I'm not saying I did any good at KEE myself this year, I did terrible)
I think a lot of players have the attitude "why should i HAVE To learn a new surface?"

If every surface in America was poly or Synth, than you would be forced to learn. As it stands now, you are not forced to learn anything, you can bet dirt if you want to and you won't have to waste your time relearning how to ride a bike again.
