I thought that the call was for positive ideas, not for "let's put up an idea and knock it down". I agree that there are flaws in the idea that I put forward, not least in the fact that it tries to encompass 2 things - Great GB Ultimate and great British Ultimate. I think that whoever is in charge of this is probably intelligent enough to work those flaws out - so far I have seen 2 ideas: - Mine (which probably sucks) and the "send the best club" (which definitely sucks). There have to be other ways of doing this... What I suggested was analogous to the Australian Cricket scene, the Football scene in lots of countries, and the UK Hockey scene. We can't just consider GB Squad on its own, we have to continually build the groundwork too, and a lot of that comes from how the top level of Ultimate behaves. Cads
