Officially, it is up to the BUF how it decides to allocate places for Worlds competitions. The un-writen rule is that the teams finishing in the top x places of Nationals go. I believe (although since it has never been recorded) that this was decided at a previous BUF AGM. Ideas like this have merit and should be tabled at the BUF AGM where a majority of the 25 per cent plus members (quorum) would have to be pursuaded to concur. What is worrying is that the BUF has around 80 members, therefore 20 makes quorum and 11 votes are enough to change the way Ultimate is run in this country. Of course the more people that go to the AGM the more representitive it will become....... So please, please, please make the effort! This years AGM will be at Nationals! Scott
