What is the primary reason customers tend to avoid participating in tournaments?

The primary reason customers tend to avoid participating in tournaments is often attributed to a lack of playing skill. Many potential participants might feel intimidated by the competitive nature of tournaments, believing that their skill level does not match those of more experienced players. This perception can lead to a lack of confidence and deter individuals from entering competitions where their abilities might be openly compared to those of others.

While knowledge of rules, the complexity of tournament formats, and the difficulty of course setups can impact participation, it's the concern about one's own skills that most prominently influences a person’s decision to compete. Players often seek assurance that they can perform at a satisfactory level, and without that confidence, they may opt out of participating altogether.
