The Mixed Series starts officially in just under
two weeks! Confirmed dates are as follows:
May 26-27
Cambridge
June 9-10
Leeds
June 30- July 1
Edinburgh
August 18-19
Nottingham
One more date is in the works, as is
Nationals. See the BUF events reminder for details.
The rules are much the same as last year, and can
be found in a seperate post so you don;t have to trawl through them if you don't
want to.
BUT this is your official warning so PAY
ATTENTION:
Nationals will be used to select teams going to
Worlds next summer. As such, there will be NO roster exceptions this
year. This means that you show up with at least 4 women (or men if that's
your particular recruiting problem) ready to play on Saturday morning or you get
no nationals qualifying points. NO EXCEPTIONS. This is not a
new rule, you've always needed at least four women to play. And it's still
pretty lenient- if you lose players to injury through the course of the day, you
won't be disqualified, you'll just have to play short-handed.
On a related note- you need to have enough players
to play all the way through Nationals, even if injury occurs. I'd say that
means you need AT LEAST 5 players of each gender.
Moan if you like, but that's the way it has to be
this year to be fair.
