Si,

Here is what I am probably going to send out to Britdisc later on
today. What do you think? Feel free to edit it if you think it makes
it clearer or less controversial.

Having absorbed all the feedback form the original email on student
eligibility rules, it does seem clear that there is a general
consensus for the changing of the four year ruling.

However, I believe it would be unfair to change it after one qualifier
has already taken place and just four days before the other three
student qualifiers are due to take place. We have no way of knowing
whether we would be able to notify everyone by then let alone whether
those previously ineligible would have left the weekend free on the
off chance that the rules would get changed. Therefore I have decided
that the rules must stay enforce for the Student Indoors tournaments
this year with a view to reviewing them prior to the outdoor season in
the spring. 

 I will be making a decision on the rule change over Christmas, so if
 there are any people who would still like to have their two penneth
 then feel free to email me (though not Britdisc) or speak to me at
 Southampton Indoors or GB. I would particularly like to hear from the
 students themselves when they have participated in the qualifiers
 without the more experienced types, whether they think it is better,
 worse or whether there is a need to limit the number of experienced
 players on the pitch at one time.

Time for me to get some essays done,
Thanks for everyone’s input,

Si.

Tournament Director) his telephone number is 01524 847230.
