My apologies if you read all the way to the end of my other mail, but I thought I ought to emphasise the point.

Late Entries
This years tour has been extremely poor for teams entering late. The U8C has been discussing this in detail as well, and has made a number of decisions:
1. No retrospective late penalties will be issued. If you were late entering a Tour event then consider that your warning.
2. Teams who are late in submitting the BUF deposits will be deducted 5% of the points accrued from that event for each day the deposit is late - i.e. if the deposit is one day late you lose 5%, 20 days late you lose 100%. We have had to resort to this since some teams have failed to pay their deposits for T2 as yet.
3. Teams who are late in submitting their entry to the TD will lose 5% of the points accrued from that event each day. This is ontop of any points lost from late payment of deposit. This excludes any prior arrangement a team may have made with the TD (e.g. GBJuniors who like to pay in cash on the day, as long as they have arranged this in advance with the TD).
This has had to be introduced because of the large number of top 8 teams who are late in entering. The tour events are supposed to be assisting these teams and yet they are the teams who are repeatedly late in entering. It was believed that points penalties would provide a greater incentive to the top teams.
THESE PENALTIES WILL BE ENFORCED FOR T3 & T4.
