It's interesting to see that the women-only events in the EBU are dying much faster than anything else. The women's teams nearly expired completely, and the women's pairs has (I think). If you look at the people who play in the trials for the Lady Milne (the intra-Great-Britain event) the best English players either don't play at all, or play in a pro-client pair. The only time you actually see some of the best women playing together are in the EBL/WBF events, when the teams are selected without trials - and even then some of the best women players in the country stick to open events.

This may go a long way to explaining the demand for women's events.
