(Which is a real pain after the work put in by the likes of Sammy over recent years.) I have a suggestion tho'... Anyone who thought they might be interested in seeing what they could do to help ultimate's case along these (or other) lines... here's what you have to do. **************************** Try to run a tournament (even an indoor one if you must- admittedly slightly easier than outdoor). **************************** And if I can be even more bossy: run a small one, and work on the teams and players that LIVE near the venue. YES - run a small, local tourney. This is the path to recognition as far as I can see. It has the bonus of resulting in more people playing ultimate more often. Got to go Si (22)
