Thanks Cads, but Chevron benefitted more this year by having 5 players selected for the GB Open team who could come back from World Championships and use the experience to help raise the standard of our team. As for Colin's proposal, which I note has shifted slightly in emphasis from 'Let's send our National Champions' to 'Let's send either our National Champions or the Tour Champions'; welcome back to the bad old days. One team (National Champions) goes to represent GB every year, thus hogging all the experience for themselves and therefore impoverishing other teams, before coming back and kicking UTI's arse all over the field. Players who want to play at a higher level then have to join Catch 22 and that's that, British Ultimate up Shotgun Creek without a paddle once more. cheers guys Rob Chevron Action Flash
