Hi all,
We (Skunks) have been successful in bidding for Women's Indoor
Nationals and
have just found out that Uni Mixed Nationals will be on the same
weekend so
naturally we are a bit annoyed. However, this for me is the straw
that breaks
the camel's back as far as tournament dates are concerned and I
want to see if
other people feel similarly.
A few points:
=========
1) Many Uni tournament dates for this year have been announced very
late (e.g.
Uni Indoor Nationals)
2) There are several cases of tournament clashes (e.g. Indoor
Qualifiers,
Womens/Mixed Nationals)
In my opinion it is simply not acceptable that National tournaments
should
clash- it is not fair on hosts or playing teams and inevitably
lowers the
playing standard of both tournaments.
I do not know the ins and outs of how allocation is organised but I
feel
something has to change. Is it not possible to publish a list of
tournament
dates at the start of a year and then people bid to host for that
weekend only?
I appreciate that non-annual events (e.g. European Clubs) might
occasionally
interrupt this but that would be a serious minority of cases. I
think that such
a scheme would also reduce the workload on the UKU.
Thoughts much appreciated either via the group or personally,
Regards
Luke Tregidgo
