Ok, I know you said it's no use complaining and I don't expect anything will change but we (Janitors) are going to complain anyway!
The complaint being that we've been bumped out of the top 16 with the inclusion of Paddy Murphy. We played a hard T2 and were rightly pleased with our top 16 finish and very much looking forward to having a pop at the rest of the top 16 in T3. Now we're back in the 17-2? slot and will basically be having the same tournament as T2. No disrespect to the teams we played but our Saturday pool was comfortably delt with and it was only when we moved up that we started to play teams more on our level, now we have to do all that again - pointless. I don't begrudge Paddy Murphy entering but surely the right and fair thing to do would've been to seed them 17th? That way, if they're good enough (and I'm sure they are), they will have a chance to play the top 16 teams on Sunday and the rest of us get to play the tournament we earnt with our performance at T2. We've been robbed! Expect further complaints... "Director Of Competitions" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> on 02/07/2003 22:10:18 To: "Britdisc" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> cc: (bcc: Simon Statham/Transportation/BCC) Subject: [BD] Tour 3 All, Firstly I would like to apologise for the confusion caused by T3, as if to continue the comedy of errors for this year the Skunks were informed late that there would only be 12 pitches available for T3 rather than the usual 'as many as you need'. Hence the chaos and restructuring. I particularly apologise to those teams who were mucked about more than others we were working on contingency plans but there got a point where we had to tell people there wasn't any space. To leave it later would have caused even more chaos. Many thanks to Stig for fronting this one whilst I was inundated at work. However here is the situation: Listed below are seedings - please do not feel free to complain, they are now finalised. Also listed below are first games. Because the schedule is now a complete mess people may not wish to turn up for first thing on Saturday. All games are still 1:15 plus 15 min change around/cap. The top eight games are longer as usual. The longest gap between games is 4:30 Play will start on time at 9:15 am Saturday with last game finishing at 7:45 pm Play will start on Sunday at 8:00 am with the final scheduled to finish at 5:00 pm If you do not attend the captains meeting at 8:45 then you will need to make yourself known to the Tournament director before your first game. Whilst we do not anticipate any changes to the schedule these may occur. They will be announced on Britdisc the moment any change occurs (if possible) and the new schedule will be adhered to - if you miss a game because the change has brought your first game forwards then that is your problem. Many thanks for all your patience.
