X-Sun-Charset: US-ASCII Sender: owner-britdisc@csv.warwick.ac.uk Precedence: bulk Hi Well teams have been working their way through the U8 info - and entries are coming in... some teams are entering all 5 straight away - and others have been able to work out which ones they can and can't enter. Don't forget that the closing date is this w/e! (although in true ultimate style that won't be the end of it I'm sure). Understand though, that entering AFTER the closing date will leave your team AT THE BACK OF THE QUEUE - (that also goes for teams who would otherwise get in automatically). [And remember that you need to get your BUF subs to Gavin, BUF Treasurer to be able to enter, - thats if you haven't paid them already. Same deadline!] Wondering who has entered? Not suprisingly, the teams going to Worlds are fully paid up and ready to go: Shotgun, Druids and Catch (thats 2 teams for Shotgun!!!! - although there will only be 1 at Hitchin) I'm not the person receiving the entries, but I can remember from talking to Dora on FRIDAY, that entries had also come in from (amongst others): Village People, Strange Blue, and Jedi Children. I also know that Stan, Violently Happy and Chevron are all entering all 5 tourneys and that their cheques are in the post! And I've heard from plenty of other people how they are planning to enter the whole thing and are just finalising their details, etc including Bliss, Mohawks, Skunks, First Touch, ... so if you think your team contact may not have sorted it all out yet - its worth getting them on to it - because the places ARE GOING! Closing dates are a new thing to most of us... but they will help - so try to meet them - because many of the other teams already have! The overall impression I am getting is generally one of excitement and interest from teams as they start to organise themselves to put in a good showing at the Tour Events... It will be so much help to those of us organising the tour, and the individual TDs, if we have a clear picture of the entry for each tourney in plenty of time... So PLEASE sort out your entry - and THANKS to the many teams who already (or nearly) have! Cheers Si
