	Before I get involed in all this - can I just thank Skunks and
anyone involved in organising the tourney for a well-run and very enjoyable
event.

	And add that the permutations for finishing places at TourV and
their impact on who wins the Tour would make John Motson say "... but lets
leave that to the mathematicians".
	Hopefully a stato (like me) will get a chance to go through the
details and put them on BD as I think they will make the games more
interesting to the neutrals in Exeter.

	But I think the same point stands.  Did Wigsy have possession at the
point of "letting go of the disc"?  (For those who didn't notice he was at
the time lying face down on the ground - feet up in the air I would say.)  

	Or to put it another way, had he thrown directly off the ground to
one of his teammates, could an oppenent have called travel?  What if he had
thrown straight it to me in the endzone for a "score"?  Presumably I would
have to walk back to the front of the zone since strictly speaking I was
taking possession from Chev.

	I believe that strictly speaking there was no turnover in either
case.  (Of course I believe that, otherwise I would have suggested to Wigs
that he had turned over and should give the disc back at the time.)  Having
said all that I think we'll make sure that it doesn't happen again.  We do
our best to avoid all forms of controversy... :-)
