Anyway I think we were under the wrong impression that the chaff would be weeded out before T3 and not T2 so we assumed we'd be safe for another tour. Either way, the main thing, as Roger mentioned, is that we can all plan (and look fwd) to the summer's tournaments with reasonable confidence. For this reason I would personally support the idea of a lower division of competitive ultimate set up under the UKU's wing with yearly promotion and relegation. It's fantastic that ultimate's so strong in the UK at the moment but it's still difficult to find competative tournaments for all levels and I think we need to address this if we are going to continue to produce new talent. ...just a few (not particularly well informed) points. Rich.

As far as MMM were concerned, we didn't have enough fit players to field a team at the end of the tour so we had to forfeit our last game. However, for future it would definately be good to know where the relegation line is (esp. as we got it wrong and thought we were relegated when we lost our quarter to Bliss...). Teams and players improve alot more when games become more competitive and close, regardless of the level of competition you're playing at, so relegation knowledge would be great. Nicole mohawks/jane doe/shocker/anyone that'll have me p.s Once again cheers to Adam for a great tour and a great venue, even if the women's showers were cold and full of men on the saturday (hey Graham ;-) ). It's good to see the top of the tour open up again after Clapham domination. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
