Default Private airport or small field for landout?

Amen to Evan's comments about airports. And - don't believe contest databases about what is an "airfield" either. Last year at the Hobbs 18m Nationals I was faced with a doubtful final glide into wind and diverted to the "private airfield" in the contest database called "Two Leggs". Guess what? Hadn't been there for 20 years. I landed in a newly planted cotton field. Nice farmer pulled me out.
