Not allowing my younger and better team-mates to play is stupid. Sam (Doughboy) and Ali Topping are a hell of a lot better than the majority of players on Tour. If Ultimate wants to flourish as a sport, it needs to encourage all the youngsters it can. I know if I'd been turned away from a tournament purely on the basis of my age, I'd probably have thought f*ck it and played something else. There is a lot to be learned from this shameful episode.
