Thanks to Adam, Matt and Chris for keeping us informed and for reacting
quickly and sensibly regarding arrangements for this weekend.
However, Chevron would like to ask, in humble, non-accusatory tones, why the
need to reschedule the event to the 21st/22nd April? Chris rightly places
importance on scheduling events as far in advance as possible, but this
rescheduling gives us 2 weeks' notice of one of the key tournaments of the
year. I'm sure this will affect many teams. Chevron, for example, work and
train hard as a squad and were well prepared for this weekend, when we would
have fielded 15 or 16 players. For 21st/22nd April it looks like we'll
manage 7 or 8.
There is a danger of devaluing the tournament and, for some teams, affecting
their final placing in the Tour. Meanwhile as I look at the BUF Diary, there
is a very large August and September-shaped hole. I understand that
decisions were (rightly) made very quickly yesterday, but was any
consideration given to rescheduling the event to later in the year?
