I dont think we should be trying to regulate teams. Geo teams should be the way forward as they train together but to say you must go to a team just because there 10 miles closer that that one is daft!

Ben,
I have to agree with you on the player loyalty issue. I've played for
BAF for about 5 years now, through my university career in Scotland. I think
player loyalty is hard as Ultimate comes from a student base, and as such a
lot of younger (no offense to 'older' players) players move around the
country a lot as they go to uni and the struggle to find a job. I may well
have this wrong but for geo teams aren't you supposed to live nearer them
than any other team? These two things just don't add up. If I am right
(doubtful) on the geo team thing, can't we have some kind of waver for
players who have been at the club for a decent length of time? Sorry if I've
got my facts wrong but I can't check them at the moment.
