Congrats to UTI for bouncing back! and to Chev for breaking a long-standing record. Thanks to the Si Weeks and anyone who helped him organise the tournament. Apologies to anyone who had to play on "pitch 1" because I spat the dummy and refused to play on it. (My interest was that our team's injury-list didn't get any longer... ) With that comment in mind can I urge everyone to consider how 32-team tourneys are so difficult to organise in terms of finding good quality venues. Maybe we could look to change the format of the tour in some way next year? I'm obviously suggesting that there should be less teams - but done in such a way that more non-tour tournaments are encouraged and are able to take place. Unfortunately I don't really have the time to offer much help right now - so I will of course merrily play in whatever setup is kindly organised by those people who put in the time and effort. See you in Edinburgh... or even Rotterdam! Si - 22
