Hi all,

This is a request for anyone with a bit of journalistic flair to have a go at
writing a report for Ultimatum.  We (Paul and I) need reports in the region of
200-250 words ( we reserve the right to edit them) about the regional qualifying
tournaments this weekend.  What we want is a BROAD overview of the WHOLE
tournament - NOT a look at the tournament from your team's point of view.  So we
are interested in:

(1) Upsets (always good for some gossip)
(2) Close Games
(3) New and emerging teams
(4) Spirit (or lack of)
(5) Semi Finals
(6) The final (obviously)
(7) Final Placings (definitely)

 We would ask that each of the "reporters" at each of the regionals is someone
other than the Tournament Directors as they will be rushed off their feet.  If I
could also ask each of the TD's to e-mail the final placings to me as well then
that can't hurt. 

We need people who are prepared to be out on the fields most of the day watching
games as well as playing them, not someone who thinks they can bang something
together which resembles what happened over breakfast in Tesco's on Sunday
morning.  This is an important job so no timewasters please. The better the
reports are, the better and more professional Ultimatum becomes, and remember,
Ultimatum is reaching a wider audience now - it is becoming a banner for our
sport.

If you are interested can you let me know.

Cheers
Stu.

P.S. One final piece of advice, please write the report as soon as you can after
the tournament while your memory is fresh.
