CURRENT PROPOSAL
20/21 Jul Open Tour IV
27/28 Jul
03/04 Aug Hawaii (Overseas)
10/11 Aug Hawaii (Overseas)
17/18 Aug
24/25 Aug British Open
31/01 Sep
07/08 Sep Co-ed Nationals
14/15 Sep
21/22 Sep Open Nationals
A couple of thoughts:
(1) As much as I've enjoyed the "British Open" tournaments over the years
does it really now have any more claim to being a "UKU scheduled"
tournament than any other non-Tour outdoor tournament (e.g. Ross) - and
even if it does should we not be trying to fit it into the early season (to
mimic the sucess of the likes of Rimini & Rotterdam)?
(2)Given no other restrictions where would people ideally put Open
Nationals, how about:
20/21 Jul Open Nationals - using Open T1,2 & 3 for seedings
27/28 Jul
03/04 Aug Hawaii (Overseas)
10/11 Aug Hawaii (Overseas)
17/18 Aug
24/25 Aug Open Tour IV
31/01 Sep
07/08 Sep Co-ed Nationals
14/15 Sep
21/22 Sep British Open (assuming not moved into "Spring")
... or some such variation on the same theme?
... how do the numerous teams preparing for Hawaii feel their needs are
best met?
... I'm also fairly sure the Mixed teams would like a competitive Mixed
tournament closer than a month before Hawaii?

I would also agree that Nationals isn't played at the right time of year.
I've seen too many finals played in horrific conditions. When a game
descends into a game against the elements, it's gone too far. We should do
what we can to lessen that risk.
Roger said the Open doesn't have much of a portfolio. I'd agree, but that's
only because it has been a struggling event, with problems locating a
suitable venue. Given time, I would expect this to become a respected
event.
