If you look at the top four teams in student nationals last year, 3 of them had a woman playing for them. I appreciate that one out of fifteen isn't much, but it's a start. A student co-ed tournament is, in my opinion, an excellent idea, however it's ran (a 5-2 ratio may be necessary). By effectively forcing women on the pitch by playing co-ed can only improve the playing standard of student women's ultimate, as if any team actually wants to do reasonably well then they'll have to use all seven players, not just players without breasts... Anyroad, this is probably a bit of a pointless mail unless we have some university that's willing to host co-ed nationals, and a weekend that doesn't clash with either easter holidays, paganello, open nationals or those horrid things we call finals... Okay, had my tuppence, back to work nicole mohawks ____________________________________________________________ Nokia Game is on again.
