RE: [BD] Champions League

[Andrew Godber]

For the UK, why don't we have a play-off between the winners of all the Winter Leagues, and then put the top one or two teams from that into the Champions League each year? It would give 'all' teams something to aim for in the Winter, as well as the Summer. It could also go someway to deciding which UK teams could take the regional spots at the UK event.   Plus we might be able to trick Sky or BBC into filming us by offering them really cheap TV rights? -----Original Message----- From: Alex Bowers [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 06 December 2002 15:05 To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'; '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: [BD] Champions League I am pleased to announce a series of tournaments for 2003 that will get the cream of European ultimate playing against eachother on a regular basis.    Following discussions amongst the major European teams at WUCC2002 (Hawaii) we have come up with a "European Champions League" format: a series of 8-team invitational club tournaments.  The format is designed to increase the level of competition amongst the top European teams and provide a yearly focus for club teams.   Champions League 1, Cambridge (UK), 3/4 May 2003   Champions League 2, Mainz (Germany), 14/15 June 2003   Champions League 3, Copenhagen (Denmark), 26/27 July 2003     This schedule is only provisional at present.  Each tournament will be attended by 6 member teams, plus 2 regional teams.  The member teams for 2003 are Clapham Ultimate, Chevron, Skogsyddans, Ragnarok, Feldrenner, Flying Angels, Red Lights, Liquidisc and HUT.  This was based on discussions amongst teams in Hawaii.
