Dear All - 

Leeds - thanks for organising a great tour.  

The weekend situation sucks - Leeds proved that they were good enough to
take the seeding that they 'awarded' themselves - but they did not deserve
it after their previous Tour performance.

If the seedings had been recast as to be fair and open, the following would
have occurred:

Top 8:
Clapham
Druids
Chevvy
TeamShark
Fusion
Red
BAF
Leeds

Pools would have been 1,3,6,8 and 2,4,5,7:

Pool A: Clapham, Chevvy, Red and Leeds
Pool B: Druids, TeamShark, Fusion, BAF

or alternatively, Leeds were not promoted (i.e. Position 4 being a void):

Pool A:  Clapham, Chevvy, Fusion and BAF
Pool B:  Druids, TeamShark and Red

A tough situation and a mess - made ugly.  

I am sure that Leeds did not cheat - the idea should offend all Ultimate
players.  

However, if the points for the Tour are going to affect the decision over
the Worlds, a conclusion which is fair to everybody has to be found.  The
top 2 places for the event are decided - but the chasing pack is VERY close.
