Well I didn't mean to lecture. I'm sorry I didn't realise your pool only had three teams in on Saturday, that does make things seem slightly worse. At least we don't have the system they use in some tournaments in the US. Having travelled twice with the Druids to the US, I can only say that I am thankful for the rather fair british system. In each tournament once you lost in the knockout you got no more games. When you have travelled over 5,000 miles to play it's dissapointing to only have one game on Sunday, as happened to us on two occasions. Luckily a British team is such a novelty over there we had no shortage of teams wanting to play "friendlies" against us for the rest of the day. Gotta go now, apparently there's a footy match on tonight! Alan Red Shift ---- 98-06-22 18:09 ---- Sent to ------------------------------- -> britdisc(a)csv.warwick.ac.uk
