Your memory does NOT serve you right!!!! Can people please check these
things out before they post it to britdisc and confuse everybody!!!
Firstly, we are talking CLUBS here, not WORLDS or EUROPEANS which is where
you represent your Country. Maybe the 2 American women's CLUB teams
decided they could not play for them for 2 years because they played for
another CLUB in Millfield - only they know the truth of that.
Club rules for women are that 50% of the team should be (in this case) Red
Lights (which they are - more in fact) and with regards to eligibility for
other pickups (and I quote from the Vancouver TD) ' Don't worry about the
eligibility rules, they are not that strict. If you get on the ..........
team we don't expect you to play with them or stop playing with your normal
team for the 3 months prior to the tournament.'
Yes, the players going to represent 'RED LIGHTS' have spoken to BLISS about
this.
