Well hey (cue sarcasm) why don't we just take all the "good" student players out of their obviously poor student sides and let the beginners go to tournaments to get completely fried because they have no tournie experience. Having Jack Rushden (now with Red?) with us for the last academic year really helped even though he was only studying at Sheffield for 12 months. He could have easily taken his skill and experience to a "good" team but chose instead help all the promising new players that Phat'edS took in during the 97/98 academic year. Let's not forget where most of us start playing ultimate. Karl University of Sheffield Ultimate : Phat'edS (and proud) -- Karl Guard
