Except, of course, Sheffield - depending on whether "over the road" can really be called "split site". Seemed to work, from the Druids' perspective - most games when we were over in Wide Lane seemed to start and finish roughly on time... There could have been a _potential_ problem with the three-way tie that nearly occurred in the SOUP, BAF, Druids, Nightfever Sunday pool, but the rules being on paper, and SOUP defeating BAF soon put paid to that. >Did this work or did it add >fuel to the "having two divisions" fire, Most teams seemed to end up over there at some point or other. I hadn't really realised/noticed that we'd been "relegated" to the "second site" along with the second division, so can't complain retrospectively. It may seem a little late (and therefore lame), but Druids would also like to offer their thanks to Iain and his team for the excellently run tournament.
