A database of all Ultimate Players in the country. It would probably lead to bigger geo teams and more geo teams, it may also build up teams in current grey spots eg. Newcastle, Liverpool, maybe even Ulster and Eire. But what i'd like to know is just how it would work. Would it be an on-line system? eg. If I was starting a new team in Newcastle would I be able to access it direct or would I need permissiom, or would you just send me details of local players? How would the collection of data be done? ie. wouldn't you need such a database to be able to contact all individuals. I know you could contact teams but what about players that are not playing at the moment? I'm sure questions like this need answering first and you need time to do some resolving of these problems, but the idea is sound and I think the BUF should try to sort something out. Matt Lowe.
