I think there is a way it could be done if it was done properly.
Clubs could gain something for every played involved in some manner and it would need some big sponsorship behind it.
The thing to keep in mind, is clubs can still have their regional practice matches in second weekend and the weekend after the final of the championship is completed they can have their prime movers back for final practice match in city regions.
It cannot be half hearted, it has to have big money and sponsorship in behind and marketed as the biggest thing every two years for the sport. It is the highest level of the sport and should be treated as such every two years in March. It is only time of year it can be done and done properly. All the most talented players in the sport would rather play this than some intra club practice match or more training in early March. The international cricket season is over, Tennis is over. Just do it and do it big. It is ridiculous the people running the sport have not created it in past.
