NB - Captain's meeting is 9am - and every team must have someone there. Briefly: this tourney was oversubscribed so (as explained before) we tried to work out a way of maintaining the Tour system but at the same time have more than the 24 teams on 8 pitches. Owing to the time of year this is possible - but it makes the schedule quite severe in places. I have spent a lot of time trying to ensure that it is as fair as possible. Beware also that Sunday is an early start for many teams. If you would like to have recieved all this info SOONER: the idea is to post the schedule at the same time as the directions!! - then I sympathise. And when we can have a run up to a tournament that isn't dogged by teams pulling out, etc etc, then it will happen. Thanks to Andy Kayley (and the other Skunks) for putting up with team changes right up to the last minute.u OK - here's the important stuff... SEEDINGS and GROUPS ------------------- TOP 8 ----- Usual system - top 2 each group -> semis. Bottom 2 into same Sunday Pool carrying fwd Saturday result. Group A Group B 1. Shotgun I 2. Shotgun II 3. Catch 22 4. Druids 6. Chevron 5. Stan 8. VH 7. Oxford 9-16 ---- Top 2 in each group fwd into same Sunday pool carrying fwd Saturday result. (Example of Sunday pool: 5,7,10,12.)

Skunks SCHEDULE -------- The way the schedule works out some teams have a relatively late start. These teams should still have a representative at capts meeting. Groups C and D: first game is at 11:30am. F1 (Mythago): first game is at 10:50am. G1 (BAF): first game is at 12.10pm - sorry. Its just the way it turned out. EVERYONE ELSE STARTS AT 9.30am. Now that this has been announced, it cannot be changed. So if anyone pulls out now there will be no change to the schedule, and teams will just miss out on games. see you there Si ------ Simon Hill 0113 289 0971
