I don't want the Tour split - I completely agree that the difference between winning Division 2 & coming 17th would make little difference to our team. At Tour 2 we came 21st Bowl winners & we were well chuffed. Also my friends that have all deserted Kamaya Maya to go to Uni & now play with the better teams (Teamshark, Oxford, for example) & splitting the Tour means I would see them even less. (ah boo hoo everyone says!)
Does it make that much of a difference to the top teams that once or twice the first couple of games they have to play a much weaker side? We played Chevron at Tour 1 and got beaten 17-1 - but who scored the 1 point? Our smallest player on the pitch outjumped one of their giants. We still go on about it now (sad I know) Top teams - does it really make that much difference to you that occasionally you have to play much weaker teams such as us. The experience we gain cannot be measured.

But what i thought you were saying was that we should split the tour but have both divisions at the same place at the same time, which seems a bit poinless as my understanding was the benefit was that you could use smaller ( and possibly better (though im not so sure) venues) > from: "Bolstridge, Thomas" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > date: Fri, 30 Aug 2002 13:47:55 > to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > subject: RE: [BD] TOUR SPLIT > > Sorry we might be talking cross purposes - are you for or against splitting > the Tour?
